River tourism

Rivers are fascinating places, exhibiting both natural charm and usefulness for a vast array of human activities. Throughout history, rivers have been used as
transport routes, as food sources and in more recent times as places to visit and play. Surprisingly, there has been scant recognition of the role of rivers in the
tourism industry, a gap which this book was written to fill. In planning this book, Malcolm and I envisaged an end result that would examine the role of rivers as a tourism resource and that would also identify significant issues and trends that later authors may wish to pursue. We hope that this objective has been realized, even if only in part.
