The book will follow the precedent set by Dennison Nash's "Tourism
Social Science Series" anthology, "The Study of Tourism". "The
Discovery of Tourism", will present the personal histories of some
of the world's leading tourism geographers, many of whom pioneered
the field. The stories will reveal the diverse personalities,
passions, and peculiarities behind the authors' choice of tourism
as a specialization. Such experiences are worth reporting as a
celebration of the global community of geographic scholars -
current and future - working in tourism. Being able to read the
histories of senior scholars may help younger scholars as well as
students, whether in geography or other social sciences, appreciate
the challenges and rewards of a life devoted to the study of
tourism. This dispersal of geographers among different academic
departments will be one of the topics addressed by some of the
contributing authors and it reflects the broad intellectual
curiosity, capacity, and contributions of tourism geographers.
Further, it means that these personal histories will be of interest
to scholars outside the field of tourism geography.
The dynamics of trust and distrust are central to understanding
modern society, social relations, and development processes.
However, numerous studies suggest that societal trust and citizen's
trust in government and its institutions are on the decline,
challenging the legitimacy of government and leading to an
undemocratic and unsustainable form of development. Recognizing its
importance, the authors for the first time situate trust within the
context of tourism development and planning. This volume discusses
trust in tourism from different yet intrinsically connected
perspectives. Chapters review how diminishing societal trust may
have adversely affected tourism planning systems, the role of trust
in good tourism governance and sustainable tourism, how trust can
be used as a facilitator of participatory tourism planning,
political trust in tourism institutions, power and how tourism
development can be a basis for trust creation among society members
by using social capital theory. In addition, a final section on
'Researching Trust in Tourism Development' means that readers are
not only provided a thorough theoretical framework on trust and an
understanding of its importance for sustainable tourism and good
governance of the sector, but also methodological aspects of
research on trust in the context of tourism development and
planning. This significant volume is valuable reading for students,
academics and researchers interested in tourism development and
planning.
