Former communist countries face unique issues in developing and
marketing tourism businesses, communities, and attractions because
of centralized polices that discouraged international influences.
While soviet economies relied on state policies to facilitate
community development, the success of capitalism lies in access to
a variety of resources, such as the environment, fiscal services,
infrastructure, and market knowledge at the local level. Moreover,
communal societies potentially possess social capital that can
provide unique economic development opportunities. This book
incorporates a regional perspective that widens the tourism
development debate to include theoretical analyses, applied
research, and case studies that document the broader successes and
challenges that affect tourism stakeholders and addresses the
necessary elements that facilitate a comprehensive tourism
development strategy in emerging and transitioning former communist
countries.

This two-volume set examines the strong connection between craft
beverages and tourism, presenting cutting-edge research in
partnership with breweries, distilleries, and cideries. While wine,
food, and culinary tourism have traditionally dominated destination
markets, interest in craft beverages has gained momentum across the
US and overseas with local markets quickly recognizing the growing
craft beverage movement. Through the eyes of tourism scholars,
brewers, and travelers, these two volumes explore the landscape of
craft beer opportunities in non-traditional settings, and recognize
the potential for future economic, socio-cultural, and
environmental sustainability. Craft Beverages and Tourism, Volume
1: The Rise of Breweries and Distilleries in the United States is
an inclusive and overarching examination of the US craft beverage
phenomenon within a larger context of international beverage
tourism. It outlines the current practice and research scope of
craft beer, cider, and spirits as well as the sustainable
development of destinations revolving around craft beverage.
Through literature reviews, case studies, and general exploration,
this volume advances marketing, hospitality, and leisure studies
research for academics, industry experts, and emerging
entrepreneurs.

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.
Women, Leisure and Tourism provides a comprehensive discussion of
women, leisure, and tourism through the lens of leisure production
and consumption, both by women and for women. Specifically, this
text includes a multi-cultural perspective to highlight the unique
attributes leisure brings to women, the role of women in leisure
entrepreneurship, and the creation of supportive, inclusive
environments to enhance female well-being through the examination
of these activities in often overlooked populations. The diversity
of women's leisure and tourism practices is best perceived through
the links between various leisure practices (e.g., sport, outdoor
recreation, travel and tourism, learning, crafts, events, family
leisure), as well as an understanding of leisure production across
cultures and life stages. These chapters bring to the forefront
many of the challenges inherent in providing leisure and tourism
that support the diverse needs of women, as well as a look at
female innovation that is also often overlooked in leisure
research. The book includes examples of both applied and conceptual
chapters from global perspectives in academic studies. This book: -
Is written by multi-disciplinary authors. - Includes case studies,
research methodologies and pedagogical approaches to highlight the
complexity of gender studies and provide a diverse toolkit to
support further research on women and gender. - Presents applied
and conceptual chapters from global perspectives in academic
studies. This book is valuable for academics and graduate students
of tourism, leisure and gender studies.
Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are
impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to
protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious
challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of
neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures
related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The
collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up,
informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local
experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management
emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive
decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and
contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an
attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while
supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While
anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged
to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the
flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on
tourism. Specific features of this book include: * Focus on
transformations, which provides insight into the complex and
dynamic nature of gateway communities. * Multidisciplinary,
multi-cultural insights into protected area management. * Applied
and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.
