destinations. To challenge seasonality or to work within its
constraints is a destination management issue that faces tourism
planners throughout the world. It is an issue that is recognized
particularly in regions of the extreme north or south where climate
variation imposes directly on the management of tourism This work
is the first to gather a wide range of current thinking on
seasonality under one cover. It provides a balanced overview of the
evidence and issues relating to tourism seasonality using European,
North American and Pacific Rim cases and research evidence. The
chapters address tourism seasonality from the point of view of its
historical context; its impact on specific sectors; accommodation,
family resorts and the perceived community benefits of seasonality.

Volunteers make important contributions across the spectrum of
event settings, most visibly at high profile mega events such as
the Olympic Games they are volunteers are lauded as 'Games makers',
'unsung heroes' and the like. Less visibly volunteers are the heart
and soul of community events and festivals, often undertaking
multi-faceted roles from event leadership through to operations and
ensuring that these celebrations are made possible in the absence
of big budgets and professional event staff. This book is the first
to showcase and advance international research into the
volunteering experience at events, drawing on the work of key
scholars in this field. Events of all sizes benefit from volunteer
support but event volunteering research is frequently case
study-based and individually these cases make a limited impact.
This text brings together cases from around the world, specifically
including those that expand theoretical and methodological
boundaries. It features mega events like the 2012 Olympics and the
2011 Rugby World Cup, alongside music festivals and sports events.
New areas that are examined include the benefits of event
volunteering for students, the role of volunteers in social
enterprise events and new methodological approaches to researching
this phenomenon, specifically ethnographic and cross-national
studies. This innovative book acts as a global source of key
information for practitioners and researchers, an important text
for students of event management and will provide stimulus for
further work in this emerging area.

Souvenirs are part of global and local travel and tourism in all
corners of the world. This book portrays souvenirs as expressions
of culture and as triggers of cultural change. The volume provides
critique and theorisation of souvenirs of places, people and
experiences in the context of lives lived at the margins of
society, politics, tourism flows and urbanisation. Case studies in
sustainable tourism illustrate dynamic ways that consumers and
suppliers use souvenirs to respond to, resist and (re)interpret
global and local influences upon cultures across informal, hybrid
and formal economies.
Human Resource Management for the Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure
Industries uses a strategic and issues-driven approach to present a
reflective analysis of how human resource evolves in the context of
international tourism, hospitality and leisure. Drawing on
wide-ranging, international academic and application sources to
illustrate the debates and vital issues that exist within people
management in this sector, this book is designed to develop
students' critical understanding of why things operate in the
manner that they do and how the international context creates
diversity in the application of management principles. In addition,
this process of reflecting on human resource issues will allow
students to arrive at ideas and solutions that will assist them in
the workplace.
