Tourist Destinations

  • Publisher: CABI

Destinations are a central feature of tourism and the focus of much tourism research. Destinations have been studied from diverse perspectives using multiple concepts and a range of approaches. As a result, destination research today has become increasingly fragmented as studies have become more specialized. There is a need for a more integrated approach, one which systematically draws together these different research threads to provide a comprehensive and coherent picture and a fuller understanding of destinations, their structure and how they function. This book provides such a synthesis by critically reviewing a wide range of international research and incorporating in one volume many different facets of destinations from studies which have appeared in related but often divergent literatures. Conceptual and methodological issues are illustrated with empirical examples from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Oceania.

Tourism Alternatives

Tourism over the past three decades has grown phenomenally but is continually modified by ongoing events and forces—such as increasing or abating pollution and congestion issues, new forms of transportation, and altered economic, social, or political conditions. The contributions in this work are of great importance to the advancement of knowledge of tourism, and, as a first theoretical book in the area, it establishes a significant benchmark for subsequent tourism research. The volume includes contributions by tourism specialists from Australia, France, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States: Richard Butler, Professor of Geography, University of We...

Tourism Research

In order to address the key debates that challenge tourism researchers, certain criteria need to be laid out and a conceptual framework established to help research progress in a rigorous and useful way. This collection, with contributions from an international panel of experts, offers an innovative analysis of research issues in tourism and tests conceptual and methodological issues from a variety of perspectives including geography, sociology, psychology, management and planning. It questions native stereotypes, impact assessment, tourist motivation and policy on both local and global levels and assesses how far tourism is interdisciplinary as well as identifying patterns for future research and development.
