Water is an essential aesthetic and recreational element that attracts millions of people worldwide especially during their leisure time. Coastal and marine tourism play an important role in the global tourism business but there are also a number of well-known lake tourism destinations. Interestingly, however, compared with coastal or mountain tourism, for example, lakes are still a relatively unknown entity as far as academic tourism research is concerned.
