This edited volume serves as the second instalment of a two-part
title that aims to provide an academic exploration of the
contemporary issues and perspectives on tourism in the Philippines.
With a strong geographical focus, and drawn from a range of
inter/multidisciplinary approaches, this book aims to provide a
timely and critical investigation of issues surrounding Philippine
host communities, Filipino travellers, and foreign tourists to the
country. This book will serve as a platform to engage with mostly
Filipino scholars allowing them to present their voices and
perspectives on a range of local tourism issues, in support of
cultivating a 'culture of research' in the Philippine academia.
This book is one of the first country-focused volumes under the
series, Perspectives on Asian Tourism. This book is composed of
contributions drawn from the works of Filipino academics based in
the Philippines and overseas institutions researching tourism
issues in the Philippines. This book's contributions are drawn from
a diverse set of disciplines including, but not limited to
sociology, anthropology, mass communications, feminist and gender
studies, cultural studies, history, and tourism and hospitality
studies. Comprising chapters based on conceptual and empirical
research, this edited book is divided into four parts: first, an
introduction to tourism and the Filipino culture and society;
second, case studies on the dynamics and impacts of tourism in
local communities; third, an investigation of tourists' gaze and
experiences of Philippine destinations; and fourth, Filipino
researchers' reflexive gaze upon events, festivals, and culinary
heritage in a tourism context. This book provides a collection of
previously unexplored facets of Philippine tourism, Filipina
tourists, and host communities, and could become an essential
reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers,
educators and policy-makers in tourism.
This edited book serves as the first instalment of a two-part title
that aims to provide an academic exploration of the contemporary
issues and perspectives on tourism in the Philippines. With a
strong geographical focus, this book is the first country-focused
volume under the series, Perspectives on Asian Tourism. Comprised
of chapters based on conceptual and empirical research, this book
aims to develop a foundational and practical knowledge base on
Philippine tourism management. The chapters cover a range of
national, regional, and local tourism management issues that cut
across the following themes:* Governance issues in Philippine
tourism destinations* The Tourism Act of 2009 * Tourism impacts and
sustainability* Innovative tourism development strategies* Tourism
marketing campaigns (i.e., It's More Fun in the Philippines!)*
Philippine tourism and the ASEAN integration* Tourism and
hospitality education in the PhilippinesThe contributions are drawn
from the works of Filipino academics based in the Philippines and
overseas institutions, and international academics researching
tourism issues in the Philippines. The chapters are informed by a
diverse set of disciplines including, but not limited to tourism
studies, hospitality management, marketing, human resources
management, public policy, environmental management, community
development, and education. This edited book is divided into four
parts: first, an introduction to the development of policy and
contemporary management issues in Philippine tourism; second,
nature-based tourism and the natural environment; third, product
development and branding; and fourth, accreditation and industry
standards. The volume culminates with a synthesis of the progress
of Philippine tourism development and management implications using
the cases and experiences outlined in the chapters. This book
serves as a systematic guide to the current state of tourism
development and management in the Philippines, and as essential
reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers,
educators, and, more importantly, tourism policy-makers.
This volume is an essential reference for designing, analysing and
reflecting on field research. It advances the literature on gender
by taking a specific focus on masculinities. The book is organised
into four sections: hegemonic and heteronormative masculinities,
performing heteronormative masculinities, situated masculinities
and paternal masculinities. The chapters explore the question of
what it means to be a 'man' and definitions of masculinities. These
reflexive accounts of gendered field experiences further the call
for gender positionality in research and will aid tourism
researchers and other transdisciplinary scholars. It is a useful
tool for supervisors, ethics committee members and researchers
(male and female).
