As a result, it is one of the major physical planning stakes of touristic areas\u003c\/em\u003e (From the concluding essay by Paul Claval, Université de Paris I - Sorbonne, Paris, France).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607548575980,"sku":"9781409450719","price":353.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781409450719-second-home-tourism-in-europe.jpg?v=1778170937","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/second-home-tourism-in-europe-9781409450719","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
