A wide range of themes are explored from various perspectives, with the focus on Europe. Particular attention is paid to academic tourism demand, expenditure, and economic impact; the relationships between academic tourism and local and regional development, sustainable development, and environmental sustainability; and the importance of academic tourism for the internationalization of higher education and international cooperation and development. Further topics to be considered include the significance of academic tourism for the dynamics of tourism destinations and insights from experimental tourism research. In addition to theoretical chapters and state of the art reviews, readers will find insightful empirical and case studies. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, students, and practitioners, including policy makers Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 1, 2021) Subject Students, Foreign -- Education (Higher) -- Europe Tourism -- Education (Higher) -- Europe Students, Foreign Education, Higher Management Regional economics Space in economics Sustainable development Tourism Europe Form Electronic book Author Bento, João Paulo Cerdeira, editor Martínez-Roget, Fídel, editor Pereira, Elisabeth T., 1970- editor.
