Contemporary Tourist Experience: Concepts and Consequences: Advances in Tourism

Editat de Richard Sharpley, Philip Stone
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mai 2017
This significant and timely volume aims to provide a focused analysis into tourist experiences that reflect their ever-increasing diversity and complexity, and their significance and meaning to tourists themselves. Written by leading international scholars, it offers new insight into emergent behaviours, motivations and sought meanings on the part of tourists based on five contemporary themes determined by current research activity in tourism experience:conceptualization of tourist experience; dark tourism experiences; the relationship between motivation and the contemporary tourist experience; the manner in which tourist experience can be influenced and enhanced by place; and how managers and suppliers can make a significant contribution to the tourist experience.
The book critically explores these experiences from multidisciplinary perspectives and includes case studies from wide range of geographical regions. By analyzing these contemporary tourist experiences, the book will provide further understanding of the consumption of tourism.

Recenzii

"Chapters are coherent in terms of writing style, depth of analysis, and the presentation of studies. Furthermore, the book includes diverse methodological approaches to the study of tourist experiences that range from more traditional positivist research methods, such as questionnaires (Chapter 3, 9), to in-depth qualitative interviews (Chapters 8, 11, 15), and less conventional methods, such as analyzing tourists' travel blogs (Chapter 6, 13), ethnographic methods (Chapter 5, 10), and a mixed method approach (Chapter 7, 14). Thus, overall, it is an interesting and useful book to tourism scholars, graduate students, and industry professionals." – Ilze Dziedataja, Manchester Metropolitan University, published in Tourism Analysis
