- Title
NEW TOURISM IN A NEW SOCIETY ARISES FROM "PEAK OIL".
- Authors
Leigh, James
- Abstract
Mass international tourism has thrived on the abundant and cheap supply of energy, and this may be about to change as the world moves towards "Peak Oil". The resultant scarcity and high price of all energy fuels will produce changes in human activities across the board, and specifically in tourism. In this looming transitional era, which has probably already arrived, tourism needs to make some dramatic changes to harmonize with the new realities of a post-energy world and its new society.
