Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book employs epistemological, methodological and discursive
approaches to explore the practices of tourism stakeholders in
Covid-19 affected destinations and to understand and explain their
everyday real-time doings and sayings. It discusses the changing
practices of tourists and stakeholders at both micro and meso
levels and provides a range of contexts and destination case
studies offering insights into supply and demand. The issues
examined in the volume will have continued implications for further
study of the relationships between tourism, crises, pandemics and
global travel. It will be a useful resource for researchers and
students in tourism studies, geography, politics and policy, as
well as sociology, history, crisis management and development
studies.
Tourism is often viewed as a phenomenon that brings out the worst
in human nature. Self-interest, overuse of resources, injustice and
cultural erosion are but a few examples. This book explores the
contrasting view that tourism can be a pathway to hope and
happiness. The chapters address areas including wellbeing, positive
psychology, hopeful tourism, mindfulness, peace, responsible
tourism and spirituality. The volume examines the role of tourism
in preserving natural wonders and architectural masterpieces,
bringing out the best in tourists and locals and adding economic
value if planned, developed and managed sustainably. It will be a
useful resource for students and researchers in tourism, psychology
and philosophy.
This volume contains specially commissioned chapters by leading
researchers who have used and modified the original TALC model over
the past two decades, a reprint of the original article, a

the published material using the TALC. The book is divided into
four sections, the foundations of the TALC, the TALC in heritage
settings, local involvement and the TALC, and the TALC and
rejuvenation. The concluding chapter discusses the relevance of the
model to both sustainability and the late Elvis Presley.

This volume consists of specially invited chapters by leading
researchers who have reviewed the original model in the light of
their own and other conceptual and theoretical positions and
models. The book is divided into five sections, the conceptual
origins of the TALC, spatial relationships and the TALC,
alternative conceptual approaches, renewing or retiring with the
TALC, and predicting with the TALC. The book concludes with a
review of the future potential of the model in the area of the
destination development process.
Overtourism has become a major concern for an increasing number of
destinations as tourism numbers continue to grow, stimulated by
general economic and technological growth and the expansion of the
global middle class. This, coupled with relentless promotion of
tourism by many organisations and destinations, has increased
tourism, despite growing opposition to excessive development. This
book is the first academic volume to deal with this topic and
contains chapters by experienced researchers in the tourism field,
taking a multidisciplinary approach to review and explain the
subject. The introductory section begins with an overview of the
current situation and the forces enabling the appearance of
overtourism. This is followed by a number of case studies from a
range of destinations around the world, both urban and rural, which
share the same problems. The concluding section includes a
discussion of potential mitigation methods and approaches and a
final assessment of future developments. The focus and relevance of
this book are not just for academics, as it offers insights into
destinations, enablers and solutions for how to address the issue
of overtourism on a wide variety of scales. This book offers
globally relevant perspectives on destinations as varied as Venice
and Barcelona, that have gained global media attention, as well as
less publicised rural areas and developing destinations.

Both visitor attractions and events play pivotal roles in the
appeal of tourism destination regions to visitors by virtue of
being the main motivator of tourist trips and determining
consumers' choices. However, more recently visitor attractions have
become more multifaceted, have proliferated and fragmented in terms
of form, location, scale and style, and their role is undergoing
major changes in a post-modern world as a result of consumer
demands and competitive innovations. Visitor Attractions and Events
for the first time theoretically and empirically explores the
relations between events and attractions to offer new thinking of
the role of space and place in shaping development, management
practices and strategies in the sector as well as future
implications. The book reveals how location is pivotal in the
development, planning, and management of visitor attractions and
events. Whereas the location of natural attractions is relatively
fixed in space and their locations cannot be predetermined or
relocated, human-made or contrived attractions are more influenced
by the planning process in the context of the locational
decision-making process. Competition and cooperation between
visitor attractions and the aspects which shape these relations,
including complementarities, compatibility, knowledge spill overs
and diffusion of innovations, product similarities and spatial
proximity remain largely ignored in the visitor attraction sector
and thus are major elements in the focus of this book. Comparative
examples ranging from small to major attractions in a wide variety
of locations are included. This significant volume will appeal
widely to all those interested in the visitor sector, such as
tourism, events, leisure studies, destination management and
sociology.
This book provides comprehensive insight into the challenges faced
by island tourism destinations and theoretical and practical paths
for built in sustainability and resiliency. It explores Island
Tourism Resilience within the context of 'Lifecycles, System
Decline and Resilience'. Tourism is a key activity for many
islands, and some depend on the tourism sector as a main economic
activity. An exploration of islands across the globe that addresses
substantial matters of ongoing sustainability and resiliency is
ever important. An array of challenges including natural disasters,
climate change, economic and political crises among others has been
addressed in the book, with additional areas such as overtourism
and COVID-19 included at the conclusion. This volume is essential
reading for academics, tourism planners and policy makers seeking
to develop sustainable and resilient island destinations. With a
new Foreword, Introduction, Conclusion and Afterword, the chapters
in this book were originally published in the journal, Tourism
Geographies.
Tourism and Hospitality in Conf lict-Ridden Destinations provides
insight into the various types of current and post-conf lict
destinations worldwide and the steps that might be taken to
transform them into future tourist destinations. Through both a
conceptual and demonstrative approach, this book examines the steps
destination management organizations as well as destination
marketers need to take in order to improve their image in the eye
of potential tourists. It also questions the extent to which
tourism can alter the image of a destination and the possible
destination marketing strategies that can be undertaken. Analysis
of a wide selection of international case studies in countries
ranging from Palestine to Myanmar to Northern Ireland provides a
thorough and far-reaching academic study. Written by an
international and multidisciplinary team of leading academics, this
book will be of great interest to students, researchers and
academics in the tourism as well as development studies
disciplines.

This book examines both specific issues and more general problems
stemming from the interaction of religion, travel and tourism with
hospitality and culture, as well as the implications for site
management and interpretation. It explores the oldest form of
religious tourism - pilgrimage - from its original form to the
multiple spiritual and secular variations practised today, along
with issues and conflicts arising from the collision of religion,
politics and tourism. The volume considers the impact of tourism
and tourist numbers on religious features, communities and
phenomena, including the deliberate involvement of some religious
agencies in tourism. It also addresses the ways in which religious
beliefs and philosophies affect the behaviour and perceptions of
tourists as well as hosts. The book illustrates how different
faiths interact with tourism and the issues of catering for
religious tourists of the major faiths, as well as managing the
interaction between increasing numbers of secular tourists and
pilgrims at religious sites.

Drawing on detailed empirical data and a range of case studies,
Managing Voluntary and Non-Profit Organizations, first published in
1990, demonstrates how voluntary organizations formulate strategies
for securing funds, providing services, and dealing with other
non-profit bodies, public agencies, and the private sector. The
central theme is organizational change and how managers have
responded, strategically and structurally, to changes to their
environment. Using original data, and writing from the broad
perspectives of current organization theory, the authors increase
our understanding of strategies, structures and designs currently
in use in the voluntary sector. Their authoritative text will make
essential reading for practising managers in non-profit
organizations and for an international audience of academics and
students of management, organization theory, and strategy.
