Social tourism is at a pivotal point. Over the past decade, there
has been increased interest and research into social tourism
issues, and as a result there is now much greater evidence on the
important role that social tourism can play in providing
significant benefits for the people supported through social
tourism schemes. However, despite these advances and awareness of
the benefits of tourism participation in most countries, there is
still much confusion and ambiguity about the definition, role, and
purpose of social tourism. This comprehensive volume reflects
recent shifts in social tourism research by focusing on target
groups and the benefits or constraints of these groups in holiday
participation. The authors explore the diversity of issues,
theories and social contexts that are relevant to social tourism
research, offering a range of quantitative and qualitative methods
and experimental designs as well as various policy and practice
contexts to address policy issues. They also highlight
opportunities for greater intensity of research on the importance
of policy in advancing social tourism and to stress the fundamental
role that social tourism can play in achieving strategic policy
goals towards enhancing wellbeing, citizenship, and quality of life
in the future. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure and
Events.
