商品描述

The geotourism industry has grown rapidly in recent years. This book introduces the geotourism industry, its attractions, activities and developments, in selected countries of the Middle East. A number of publications and studies have investigated the nature and scope of the phenomenon of geotourism (tourism which starts from geology) and geotourists worldwide. However, despite the breadth of these studies, few publications have investigated the phenomena in the Middle Eastern countries.

Consequently, this book seeks to shed light on the different aspects of geotourism and geo-diversity in the Middle East and provides a number of case studies from this region. It assists in bridging the lacuna in the tourism and geology literature and helps planners, marketers, managers, scholars and researchers to enhance their knowledge about such issues. It outlines opportunities for, as well as barriers to, geotourism development in the Middle East as well as providing recommendations for the advancement of geotourism in the region.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

地質旅遊業近年來快速發展。本書介紹了中東地區選定國家的地質旅遊業，包括其景點、活動和發展。許多出版物和研究已經調查了地質旅遊現象（以地質學為起點的旅遊）和全球地質旅遊者的性質和範圍。然而，儘管這些研究的廣泛性，很少有出版物研究了中東國家的這些現象。

因此，本書旨在闡明中東地區地質旅遊和地質多樣性的不同方面，並提供了該地區的一些案例研究。它有助於彌補旅遊和地質文獻中的空白，並幫助規劃者、營銷人員、管理者、學者和研究人員增進對這些問題的了解。它概述了中東地區地質旅遊發展的機會和障礙，並提出了促進該地區地質旅遊發展的建議。
