Abstract

Geotourism in the Middle East is poorly studied and there is little published data on such tourism. Toward bridging this gap in the pertinent literature, this book explores the potential developments of geotourism in the Middle East, by introducing several cases studies from a sample of countries in the Middle East. Furthermore, the future of the geotourism phenomenon in the region has been discussed.
