Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Interdisciplinary and
multidimensional in its approach, this insightful Research Agenda
critically analyses the principal issues that have emerged in
recent years from tourism and well-being studies. It provides a
detailed analysis of definitions and key concepts and explores the
research agenda related to product and service development,
motivation, segmentation and management using established as well
as experimental methodologies. Enlightening contributions from
leading scholars detail the role, indicators, and measurement of
well-being in tourism economics, expertly examining issues of
individual well-being and how experiences of well-being can be
facilitated for both employees and tourists. The various impacts of
tourism on well-being are analysed from a diverse range of
perspectives, including collective experiences of social and
diasporic tourism and individual experiences of well-being and
transformation. Succinct and cutting-edge, A Research Agenda for
Tourism and Well-being will appeal to students, academics, and
researchers in tourism, sociology, economics, business, psychology,
and human geography. It will also prove insightful to practitioners
involved in product and service development, tourism and
destination, marketing and human resources management sectors.
The third edition of Issues in Cultural Tourism Studies provides a
vital framework for analysing the complexity of cultural tourism
and its increasing globalization in existing as well as emergent
destinations of the world. It focuses in particular on the need for
even more creative tourism strategies to differentiate destinations
from each other using a blend of localized cultural products and
innovative global attractions. The book explores many of the most
pertinent issues in heritage, arts, festivals, indigenous, ethnic
and experiential cultural tourism in urban and rural environments
alike. Since the second edition of this book there have been many
important developments in this field and this third edition has
been completely revised and updated to include: New content on:
demand and motivation for cultural tourism, sustainable cultural
tourism, and ethnic cultural tourism New and updated case studies
from an even wider global perspective A revised, up-to-date
framework for global cultural tourism studies in the light of
recent research, publications, and industry developments. New
pedagogical features within the text to aid understanding and
critical thinking including: questions at the end of case studies
and a further reading section. At the interface between the global
and the local, a sustainable and people-centred approach to
cultural tourism planning and development is advocated to ensure
that benefits are maximized for local areas, a sense of place and
identity are retained, and the tourist experience is enhanced to
the full. The text is unique in that it provides a summary and a
synthesis of all of the major issues in global cultural tourism,
which are presented in an accessible way using a diverse range of
international case studies. It is essential and valuable reading
for all tourism students.
