For many decades, the global business events industry operated
under the illusion that business event legacies are best measured
in terms of coffee cups and hotel rooms. Business Event Legacies:
Global industry case studies demonstrates that in fact the tourism
contribution made by business events is just the tip of a very big
legacy iceberg. The substantial legacies that business events make
to academic disciplines, industry and community go 'beyond tourism'
and are much more significant. Business Event Legacies: Global
industry case studies provides a cutting edge understanding of the
legacy in the field of business events, crucial to the future of
the industry. Through eight case studies this book will explore how
business events are a collision space for ideas, brokering new
innovations, generating trade and investment, supporting local
communities, academics, industry, and government agendas, and
driving knowledge economies. The text begins by explaining the
paradigm shift in the understanding of business event legacies, and
moves on to introduce a revolutionary six-step plan to analyse
legacy success. The proceeding case studies then illustrate how the
six-step analysis can be put into practice. Business Event
Legacies: Global industry case studies provides: * A comprehensive
range of documented business event legacies available * A global
range of case studies representing key business events destinations
including London, Sydney, Uruguay, Copenhagen, Geneva, Kuching:
Malaysia, and Jonkoping: Sweden. * Methodologies for evaluating the
legacies and impacts of business events for communities,
industries, and government. * Information/understandings crucial
for educating future business event professionals * Suggestions for
advances in business events education and a future research agenda.
Based on robust research framed by the authors' deep understanding
of business events, Business Event Legacies: Global industry case
studies is a must have text for undergraduate and postgraduate
students engaged in the business events sector, academic
researchers and practitioners, including executive and marketing
staff of convention bureaux and convention centres, as well as
professional conference organisers and destination managers.
Over the last decade, commentaries and research on urban tourism
precincts have predominantly focused on: their role in the tourism
attractions mix; their physical and functional forms; their
economic significance; their role as a catalyst for urban renewal;
their evolution and associated development processes; and, perhaps
more broadly, their role, locality and function within the context
of urban planning. City Spaces - Tourist Places both consolidates
and develops the extant knowledge of urban tourism precincts into a
coherent research driven contemporary work. It revisits and
examines the foundational literature but, more importantly, engages
with aspects of precinct development that have previously been
either underdeveloped or received only limited consideration, such
as the psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of the precinct
experience. Written by an international team of contributors it
provides the reader with: * A comprehensive analysis of
foundational theory and cutting-edge advances in the knowledge of
the precinct phenomenon * An examination of previously
underdeveloped topics and themes based on contemporary and
ground-breaking research * Typological and theoretical frameworks
in which to locate precinct form, function and experience
Brilliantly edited to ensure theoretical continuity and coherence
City Spaces - Tourist Places is vital reading for anyone involved
in the study or planning of urban tourism precincts.

Reprinted in paperback. The consumption of culture is one of the
most important aspects of tourism activity. Cultural tourism
includes experiencing local culture, traditions and lifestyle,
participation in arts-related activities, and visits to museums,
monuments and heritage sites. This book reviews a wide range of
qualitative and quantitative research methods applied to the field
of cultural tourism, including surveys, mystery tourist visits,
visitor tracking, grand tour narratives, collages,
researcher-created video, photo-based interviews, ethnographic and
actor-network approaches. It provides a practical guide on how to
conduct research as well as a discussion and evaluation of the
methods.
In order to engage tourism's possibilities and responsibilities in
the creation of more sustainable futures, collaboration is vital.
Collaboration does not imply a division of labour, which is often
the essence of cooperation, but rests on the hypothesis that the
sum of the work is more than its individual parts. The UN 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals highlights collaboration
and partnerships as central tenets for resilient action.
Collaboration leverages the sustainable development of tourism
between diverse groups of agencies, organisations, businesses and
people with many different values and agendas. Collaboration for
Sustainable Tourism Development explores the role of collaboration
in tourism to sustain livelihoods, create profitable partnerships,
and protect cultures and the environment. Based on robust research,
it critically examines how collaboration enables (or impedes)
sustainable tourism development, and suggests a role for
collaboration where there is currently none. With contributions
from leading international scholars it charts a course for
unpredictable futures and suggests advances in sustainable tourism
development education. Essential reading for undergraduate and
post-graduate students engaged in international tourism and
hospitality as well as academic researchers, planners, managers and
developers of tourist destinations. Complementing online tutorials
are available for select chapters as part of the BEST EN Lecture
Series, see http://www.innotour.com/bestenModules.
