Adventure Tourism Management. Adventure tourism is the largest and fastest growing sector of the trillion-dollar global outdoor tourism industry. No tourism professional, current or future, can afford to ignore this economically significant sector. A very wide range of high-adrenalin recreational activities is now available as commercial adventure tourism products: rafting and kayaking, surfing and kiteboarding, helisking and snowboarding, diving and submarines, mountain biking and off-road driving, horseriding and rockclimbing, ballooning and parachuting, and many more.
Industrial Tourism: Opportunities for City and Enterprise. Industrial tourism presents opportunities, both in terms of income and as a tool of management, for individual firms who open their doors - and consequently their local regions - to the public.

This book analyzes the conditions for successful industrial tourism development using case studies of Wolfsburg, Cologne, Pays de la Loire, Turin, Shanghai and Rotterdam, and makes astute recommendations for cities and companies with ambitions in this field.
