Tourism Studies and the Social Sciences
Autor Andrew Holdenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 oct 2005
Here, Holden introduces social science disciplines and applies relevant theories to the understanding of tourism. He investigates how the economic and political structures of society influence the manifestation of tourism at a global level, and subsequently considers a variety of topical issues including citizenship and social exclusion, tourism as a form of trade, consumerism, the consequences of tourism, and feminism and ethics. Each chapter includes:
- a brief introductory summary of the discipline
- a critique of its main theories and concepts which have relevance to tourism
- a discussion of how the theories and concepts have been applied to tourism using cases and examples
- international case studies and examples.
