| Description: |
An in-depth, critical and multi-disciplinary overview of this expanding subject area. |
| Synopsis: |
"The strongest overview I have encountered of the scope and the current state of research across all the fields involved in advancing our understanding of tourism. For its range of topics, depth of analyses, and distinction of its contributors, nothing is comparable."- Professor Dean MacCannell, University of California, Davis"The breadth of vision and sweep of accounts is remarkable, and range of topics laudable... a rare combination of the authoritative, the challenging and stimulating."- Professor Mike Crang, Durham UniversityTourism studies developed as a sub-branch of older disciplines in the social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology and economics, and newer applied fields of study in hospitality management, civil rights and transport studies. This Handbook is a sign of the maturity of the field. It provides an essential resource for teachers and students to determine the roots, key issues and agenda of tourism studies, exploring:The evolution and position of tourism studiesThe relationship of tourism to cultureThe ecology and economics of tourismSpecial events and destination managementMethodologies of studyTourism and transportTourism and heritageTourism and postcolonialismGlobal tourist business operationsRanging from local to global issues, and from questions of management to the ethical dilemmas of tourism, this is a comprehensive, critically informed, constructively organized overview of the field. It draws together an inter-disciplinary group of contributors who are among the most celebrated names in the field and will be quickly recognized as a landmark in the new and expanding field of tourism studies. |
