Neither the tourism industry nor the tourist has responded
convincingly to calls for more responsibility in tourism. Ethical
consumption places pressure on travellers to manage a large number
of decisions at a time when hedonic motivations threaten to
override other priorities. Unsurprisingly, tensions occur and
compromises are made. This book offers new insight into the
motivations that influence tourists and their decision-making. It
explores how consumers navigate the responsible tourism market
place and provide a rich understanding of the challenges facing
those seeking to encourage travellers to become responsible. Not
only will the book provide an improved interpretation of the
complexity of ethical consumption in tourism, but it will also
offer a variety of stakeholders a deeper understanding of: the key
challenges facing stakeholders in the production and consumption of
responsible tourism how ethical consumers can be influenced to
consume ethically the gaps in consumer knowledge and how to broaden
the appeal for individuals to make more informed ethical decisions
how tour operators can respond to this emerging market by
innovative product development how to design informative marketing
communications to encourage a greater uptake for responsible
holidays how destinations can tailor their products to the ethical
consumer market how destination communities and management
organisations can target responsible tourists through the provision
of sustainable alternatives to mass-market holiday products.
Written by leading academics from all over the world, this timely
and important volume will be valuable reading for ubdergraduate and
postgraduate students, researchers and academics interested in
Tourism Ethics, Ethical Consumption and the global issue of
Sustainability.

Destinations rely on regional strategies to support and enhance the
tourism product through regional partnerships and integration.
Integrated tourism is defined as tourism that is explicitly linked
to the economic, social, cultural, natural and human structures of
the region in which it occurs. Integrated tourism has evolved to
include numerous meanings and definitions, but generally includes a
vertical business or industry approach. The first of its kind, this
book applies a more inclusive approach to integration by providing
insight into inclusive regional development strategies that support
both the needs of urban and rural areas whilst enhancing the
tourist experience, supporting the positive impacts of tourism and
mitigating the negative. Regional studies tend to portray either an
urban or rural focus without acknowledging that often these spaces
constitute joint governance structures, similar historical and
cultural roots, and economic dependencies. Sustainable tourism
promotes sourcing locally, such as using rural agricultural
products in urban tourism experiences. Furthermore, innovative
rural marketing strategies linking tourism heritage, attractions,
food and drink trails, and artisans with urban visitors are
emerging. Including theoretical and applied research and
international case studies, this will be a valuable resource to
academics, students and practitioners working in tourism
development and regional policy.
Tourism and Wellness: Travel for the Good of All? enhances academic
understandings and analyses of tourism as a social and worldmaking
force by situating broad questions of well-being, health, and
equity within the scaffolds of critical tourism studies.
Contributors touch on power and politics, space and place,
reflexivity and relationships, values and affect, and inequality
and equity as viewed through critically informed and social justice
perspectives. This collection of cutting-edge, critical tourism
analyses contextualizes and disrupts how wellness is understood in
tourism.
