Second, we have designed these vacation package tours the way Americans like to travel. We have picked hotels that give you the flavor of Europe while providing real value for your money.
We Americans have always like making up our own minds. We have tours by escorted （护卫）motor coach or your own rental car. And land packages in Paris that start as low as $ 299—$1289.

Tourism has become one of the most significant forces for change in the world today. Regarded by many as the world’s largest industry, tourism brings regular migrations of people, exploitation of resources, processes of development and inevitable effects on places, economies, societies and environments. It is a phenomenon that increasingly demands attention.
Tourism Geography explores the factors that have encouraged the development of both domestic and international forms of tourism. The differing economic, environmental and socio-cultural impacts that tourism may receive are examined, together with a consideration of ways in which planning for tourism can assist in the regulation of development and produce many forms of tourism. Drawing on case studies from across the world, the book shows how geographic opinions can inform and illuminate the study of tourism, and offers a review of established geographies of tourism to show how new patterns in the production and consumption of tourist places are fashioning the new tourism geographies of the twenty-first century.
