2011 planning for tourism, leisure and sustainability

This book has to have a twin dedication. First, to my wife Philippa and to my three children, Abby, Theo and Sandy, without whose support and understanding nothing would ever have been achieved. Secondly, to my rich global village of work friends, made in over 50 years of work and travel in Poland, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Wales, New Zealand, Scotland, the USA, Canada, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, England, Norway, Ireland, Hungary, China, Australia, Albania, Austria, Estonia, the Maldives, Algeria, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Italy, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Romania, Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Belgium and Bulgaria. The shared learning has grown thanks to them
