This book assists the better understanding of value co-creation and co-destruction in tourism development by bringing together different perspectives and disciplines. It provides some examples of how value can be co-created or co-destroyed within the context of tourism. Tourism is susceptible to uncertainty and incidents that can directly impact the supply and demand of its discretionary products and services. Consensus has been reached among practitioners and academics that consumer experience is more important than ever for enterprises as well as destinations, as the sector has become globalized, reached maturity and become highly competitive. Still, the pathway to success (or failure) lies within the overall satisfaction of visitors and tourists, which heavily depends on perceived value; a concept that can be co-created or co-destroyed by the very interaction between all social actors and stakeholders involved. Value creation or destruction is critical not just for traditional supply and demand, but also for an array of actors across value and distribution chains (including, for example, staff and intermediaries across the networks). The book will be of great value to scholars, students and policymakers interested in tourism studies and practices and service management, as well as professionals in the field of tourism management. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Tourism Planning & Development.
The environmental, social and financial dimensions of sustainability rest on the ethical principles of avoiding harm and doing good. This means diminishing the environmental impact of societies, organizations and individuals and avoiding waste in all its forms wherever possible. Doing good means leaving a positive environmental and social footprint and throughout, this text the focus is on all three levels. Based on theory and practice it takes the student through the key issues focusing on the hospitality industry, particularly the hotel sector. It analyses environmental, economic and social value in the industry, and what can be done to maximise the good for all the stakeholders in the long term. In an accessible and structured manner, it delivers: * A clear focus on the four major areas in which value is created in the hotel industry- distribution; buildings; procurement and operations; * A clear description and analysis of the key sustainability challenges faced in each area; * A wide range of international industry cases; * Chapters structured with clear introductions, summaries and learning outcomes. It is an ideal text for students on bachelors and masters courses in Hospitality Management, Hotel Management and Tourism Management and for practitioners in the hospitality sector.
