Style and structure: Written at the appropriate level for 1st year undergraduate students and those studying the subject for the first time. It's accessibility also appeals to non-native English speakers. Breadth of content: The text maps onto course content very well as it covers every major aspect taught on events management courses and explores the current developments and trends in the field, with particular focus on the array of technological developments which are hugely affecting the industry. Balance of Theory and Practice: Offers both practical and academic knowledge. Practical pedagogical tools include: case studies, interviews with industry experts, scenarios, end-of-chapter debate sections and employability skills sections. International in scope and content: New and updated case studies from a wide range of regions including those from emerging economies such as Africa, the Middle East and South-East Asia. Length: Written for 1st semester courses, where Bowdin (market leader) is considered to be too long.

The book provides insights into the economic, social, geopolitical and environmental implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism and hospitality industries and the responses in diverse international contexts. It highlights key concepts and includes cases with real-life applications. The book also discusses future research directions in a post-pandemic scenario. This book will be an invaluable resource for practitioners in the areas of tourism and crisis management and for readers to compare and contrast tourism destination recovery and crisis management practices through different research methodologies and settings.

The Emerald Handbook of Destination Recovery in Tourism and Hospitality deals with three major objectives: exploration of the various ways to put the tourism industry on the path of recovery following global COVID-19 pandemic; to envisage strategies to make tourism more resilient; and to explore sustainability and its vital importance post-crisis.

In its wider context, this book covers tourism management, crisis management, and destination management. At the more micro level, themes explored include tourism economics, marketing management, hospitality management, food and beverage management and tourism technology.

Contemporary regeneration policy is often concerned with the re-branding of the city, for residents, tourists and investors. Recently in the UK, an increasing focus has been placed on the role of culture in regeneration, but this has mainly been framed in the context of social and economic renewal. The absence of cultural theory from regeneration debates mirrors its lack of engagement with the political process in the UK and this theory-gap has important implications for the effects of regeneration strategies on communities. The work of city-branding in regeneration is primarily concerned with representation and imagination. The work of Derrida and Baudrillard is used in this book to critique the re-imagining of the city in cultural regeneration strategies. The conclusions of this body of post-structuralist thought cast doubt on the whole process of city- branding, but developments in the field of Cultural Planning provide a unique opportunity to join theory and praxis by viewing culture as a resource in the regeneration process and by engaging communities through their cultural practices.
