'Tourist Behaviour: The Essential Companion edited by Philip L.
Pearce is an indispensable resource for courses on consumer
behaviour in tourism and for all serious scholars in the field. The
structure of the book is unique in following the entire consumer
journey from ''dreaming and longing'' to ''returning home''.
Pearce, the preeminent scholar and author on tourist behaviour, has
produced another brilliant work together with an impressive list of
contributing authors.' - Alastair Morrison, Purdue University, US
Comprehensive and accessible, this Companion offers a thorough
investigation into both traditional and fresh topics in tourist
behaviour and experience. Arranged chronologically, the chapters
examine tourist experience from the very idea of a tourist visit to
the aftermath of returning home. With contributions from leading
experts and emerging scholars across the globe, this Companion
establishes the importance of studying tourist behaviour.
Innovative topics including packing and preparation, dreaming and
longing for trips, and memory are explored in detail. The book
incorporates a selection of illustrative key case studies to ensure
that it is highly accessible and readable to a range of audiences,
while ensuring academic rigour. It examines both positive and
negative impacts of the tourist experience on tourists themselves
and the communities and environments they visit. The concluding
chapter includes a vision for how tourism and sustainable
development goals can be integrated to maximise the benefits of
tourist behaviour and experience. Students and researchers of
tourism and sustainability will greatly benefit from the research
directions and suggestions indicated in each chapter of the book.
This timely Companion will also prove to be a valuable resource for
stakeholders looking to improve and expand upon the tourist
experience.
