Recenzii

“Every chapter provides a critical review of its related literature as well as several examples to illustrate the practical implications of its arguments. … this is an easy-to-read book that provides a rich set of both theoretical background and practical examples on the various resources and development plans and strategies of tourism earth science. … The book constitutes a very useful reading for researchers-academics, students, professionals and policy makers involved and interested in geotourism.” (Marianna Sigala, Information Technology & Tourism, Vol. 16, 2016)
