Geographical Magazine November 2024 Vorige editie

This month, I talked to Alastair Bonnett about his latest book, 40
read the interview and to see some of the fabulous and, indeed,
life-changing maps). As you are a reader of Geographical, it’s fair to
assume that you’re as fascinated and delighted by a map - nearly any map - as I am. And Alastair’s 40 won’t disappoint. They will intrigue you, make you think, force you to re-evaluate old assumptions and introduce you to new ideas. This is a book that should go straight onto your Christmas list. Continuing that theme, this month,
Mark Rowe takes a long look at one of the world’s biggest industries and asks, what does the future hold for tourism? It would seem that some long- held assumptions on that front are up for re-evaluation (see Page 26). How we think about travel and what the local people think about us when we get to our destination are both undergoing rapid change.
