Biography

Zoran Roca

"For those interested in tourism and recreation as an industry or potential community economic development strategy or for those simply seeking a broader view of the general housing market, this is a good book to have on the shelf." - Journal of Regional Science

"Second Home Tourism in Europe provides a broad-ranging, informative and research-based contemporary assessment of the contribution and impacts of second-home developments in a wide range of European countries. This contribution is timely...I would recommend this publication to researchers and policy-makers concerned with this increasingly influential but somewhat neglected aspect of lifestyle mobility." - Norman McIntyre, Lakehead University, Canada

"...this is an easy-to-read book that provides a rich set of both theoretical background and industry experience on the phenomenon of second homes from a multidimensional perspective (i.e. social, cultural, economic, political and environmental). The book nicely integrates theoretical concepts with practical evidence and case studies gathered through a wide spectrum of international regions and destinations. Overall, the book provides a good and holistic overview of the multi-dimensional and dynamic phenomenon of second homes." - Tourism Planning and Development

"... an impressive ’state of the art’ compendium of second home research in the European context." - Journal of Housing and the Built Environment
