An understanding of the ways in which tourists experience the places and people they visit is therefore fundamental to the study of the consumption of tourism.

This book offers new perspectives on the intersection between tourism and retail research that is liminal to both fields yet central to the tourist experience, standing as an important and illuminating real...
