Examines how temporality manifests in and impacts tourism in
different parts of the world looking at climate, culture and/or
structural conditions of the tourism operation. It looks at the
reasons and causes for temporality within tourism and how this
effects both the industry, the consumer and the environment.
Divided into four parts, Tourism: A temporal analysis looks at: *
The dimensions and relationships between time and tourism: the
causal reasons for seasonality in tourism, links between seasonal
variations and visitation and why people travel when they do. * The
operational dimensions of temporality: the challenges of 'peak
season' and 'low season', pricing, planning, managing the labour
demands and yield systems. * Strategic responses to temporal
variation: the role of temporality/seasonal variation as a policy
issue, the role of festivals and events in combatting temporality
and the effect of social media. * The End of Temporality?: the rise
of 'year-round ' tourism, its enablers and its’ resulting effects
both positive nad negative in the industry, the environments and
the economy. With contributions from international experts from
academia and industry, this text uses case students and vignettes
throughout to contextualise the theory and enabling students to
have a better understanding in order to critique and question the
issues discussed.
