International Tourism - Identity and Change (Paperback)

Tourism is fast becoming a prominent feature of daily life. Despite this, recent literature on the topic of tourism and tourist studies is relatively sparse. Now, in International Tourism, a team of distinguished contributors offers new insights into theories of tourism and touristic practices. Contributors move away from the traditional paradigm in tourist studies that focused almost exclusively on the effects or consequences of tourism. Instead, they convincingly reconceptualize tourism, offering a theoretically sophisticated reappraisal of tourism as a transnational global issue. Replete with illustrative case studies, this volume rethinks many of the assumptions inherent in tourism research. International Tourism is a must for all scholars and students in sociology, leisure studies, and tourism studies.
