Tourism affects millions of individuals, numerous societies and
environments in multiple, nuanced and overlapping ways. While it
can be viewed as a frivolous leisure pursuit or simply a large
industry, with potentially destructive impacts, it might also be
understood in terms of its effects on human fulfilment, the good
life and greater well-being. This book calls for positive tourism,
principally grounded in theories from positive psychology (the
study of what makes life worth living), and the development of a
body of knowledge that explains what characterises optimal tourist
experiences, what enables host communities to flourish and what
encourages workers in tourism to thrive. Through original research
studies reported in this international volume we aim to further
develop this knowledge. The intersections between ongoing and
traditionally inspired applications of psychology in tourism and
this new thrust in psychological inquiry promise to refresh and
challenge tourism research. This book will appeal to researchers
and academics in tourism, leisure, positive psychology, management
and related fields as well as graduate students, professionals and
policy makers.
