Tourism Marketing in East and Southeast Asia
Despite the increased research interest in tourism in Asia, most research has focused on the key destinations (China, Macau, Hong Kong, Thailand), while neglecting other destinations which are less well explored. Little is known about the marketing efforts and practices, along with the successes and challenges, countries in the East and Southeast Asia have been experiencing. This book aims to address this oversight by exploring the marketing approaches, techniques and tools used by various countries in the region both collectively and individually to manage their tourism offerings and position them in the global tourism market: China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Macau, Mongolia, Myanmar, Vietnam. The book will be of interest to tourism marketing researchers, practitioners, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students who will find these insightful contemporary case studies useful in the classroom.
Future of Tourism Marketing
Marketing in the tourism and hospitality industry has transformed with the development of digital marketing tools and the evolution of social culture. Recently, the advent of new technologies such as smartphones, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, robots, and new GIS systems has created more possibilities for marketing innovations. Advancements in information technology are leading to changes in business processes, service standards, and management mindsets. Meanwhile, consumers are also adapting to the new marketing paradigm. Researchers are interested in studying this newly-emerging and unpredictable business environment, customer decision making, new management tactics, and business analytic strategies. Future of Tourism Marketing aims to assess the role of modern technologies in marketing tourism destinations and their effects on potential visitors. This book will provide an update on research into the new marketing paradigm that is developing as a result of new technologies in a post-modern era. The chapters in this book were originally published in Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing.
Visual Media and Tourism
Tourism is all about visuals. Visuals stimulate our imagination, create fantasy, and drive the audiences to take actions to realize these dreams through perceived reality. With media content presented through channels of television drama, reality shows, TV commercials, and movies, this book presents findings that help us better understand the relationships between nostalgia and film tourism; how reality TV shows affect tourist experience and authenticity; and how visuals stimulate audiences’ taste and olfactory senses and their relationship with gastronomical tourism. The book presents findings that explain the psychological mechanism of how modality and navigability influence tourists’ ...

Pilgrimage beyond the Officially Sacred
Pilgrimage beyond the Officially Sacred: Understanding the Geographies of Religion and Spirituality in Sacred Travel examines the many ways in which pilgrimage engages with sacredness, delving beyond the officially recognized, and often religiously conceived, pilgrimage sites. As scholarship examining the lived experiences of pilgrims and tourists has demonstrated, pilgrimage need not be religious in nature, nor be officially sanctioned; rather, they can be 'hyper-meaningful' voyages, set apart from the everyday profane life—in a word, they are sacred. Separating the social category of 'religion' from the 'sacred,' this volume brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars employing...
Sacred Sites, Rituals, and Performances
The conceptual territory of religious tourism is fluid. While recreation and leisure-based motivation and behaviors are evident in religious tourism, this volume reiterates its rootedness in tenets from religious traditions and pilgrimages. Using fresh perspectives on place-stories, rituals, performances, that are central to pilgrimage and sacred sites, essays in this volume explain contemporary expressions of religious tourism and illustrate the dynamic nature of religious tourism as an ecosystem embedded in religious practices, rituals and performances. The explanations will benefit researchers and practioners alike and they can find numerous examples that show the significance of religious tourism for sustainable development of destinations.
International Handbook of Skill, Education, Learning, and Research Development in Tourism and Hospitality
This handbook provides new dimensions and directions to design tourism education curriculums and transform students' learning. It delves into issues such as job opportunities, business opportunities, required skill sets, and the role of critical and creative thinking in tourism education, and focuses on a shift in mindset from R&D (research and development) to L&D (learning and development), to aid in gaining in-the-field knowledge. It presents a global perspective on the latest trends, innovative curriculum, research, and skill needs in the travel, tourism, and hotel industry via empirical, theoretical, and conceptual chapters, as well as through global case studies. This handbook explores how to develop the skills, attributes and prospects for employment in these competitive industries, and also highlights what employers in the tourism and hospitality sectors expect from graduate and/or post-graduate candidates. Besides examining the contribution of tourism education towards a better society, this handbook introduces a new way of designing curriculums, and examines the past practices, current trends, and future opportunities in the field.
Film Tourism in Asia
This book focuses on film tourism: the phenomenon of people visiting locations from popular film or TV series. It is based on a unique, Asian perspective, encompassing case studies from around the pan-Asian region, including China, Taiwan, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore. By focusing emphatically on film tourism in the non-West, this book offers a timely and crucial contribution to a more comprehensive understanding of the relation between film, culture and place, particularly in light of the increased volume of media production and consumption across Asia, and the consequent film tourism destinations that are currently popping up across the Asian continent.
Vejeteryan Beslenme Çeşitleri ve Destinasyon Seçimi
“Seyahat kavramının oluştuğu ilk yıllardan günümüze, seyahat edenlerin sayısı arttıkça, insanların seyahat etme sebepleri de değişmeye başlamıştır. Artık, yiyecek deneyimi yaşamak için seyahat etmenin popüler hale geldiğini söylemek mümkündür. Gastronomi turizmini oluşturan bu seyahatler ile görülmektedir ki, turizm ve yemek birbiri ile oldukça yakın ilişkide bulunan iki kavramdır. Çünkü yemek bir destinasyonun hem imaj hem de çekicilik unsuru olarak görev yapabilmektedir. Et gıdaları veya hayvansal kaynaklardan gıda ürünleri yememenin seçimi ve uygulaması olan vejetaryenizm, yalnızca yeme düzenine yansıyan değil, aynı zamanda yaşam tarzının ve düşüncenin diğer birçok yönünü de kapsayan geniş bir inanç sistemi olarak ifade edilmektedir. Vejetaryen gıda trendleriyle ilgili pazarlama raporları, vejetaryenliğin tüketiciler arasında giderek daha popüler hale geldiğini göstermektedir. Bu sebeple destinasyon seçimi ile vejetaryen beslenme seçimleri arasında bir bağlantı olduğu ve yapılacak pazarlama çalışmalarının bu bağlantıyı göz önünde bulundurması gerektiği bilinmelidir.”
