Abstract
This first chapter provides an introduction to the geography of tourism. It initially discusses the nature of geography, and indicates the major topics that the subject is concerned with, as well as presenting the types of questions that geographers ask. It then considers the activity of tourism, giving a brief overview of its importance and a discussion and consideration of definitions. The links between the two areas of study are presented, as well as a brief overview of different approaches to the relationship between geography and tourism.
