Recenzii

Philip Pearce has once again offered us a remarkably broad and in-depth treatment of the issues shaping the world of tourism today. In this book you will find a concise and integrated summary of what we know, as well as what we need to know on a whole range of topics. The book is a must-read for tourism researchers in assessing new and emerging research streams that will make a difference. John C. Crotts, College of Charleston, USAThis is an important book on many levels. It addresses fascinating issues related to contemporary tourist behavior in a very accessible and yet rigorous manner. It will enlighten many audiences from researchers and students to more general readers. From the first excellent Chapter on research approaches to the intriguing journey through the remaining Chapters, the author gently and yet powerfully guides his readers to deeper understandings of important shifts in tourist behavior.Pauline Sheldon, University of Hawaii, USAThe field of tourism studies has grown to the extent that researchers are seeking new topics, models, and approaches. This concise volume attempts to fill this role. Pearce (tourism, James Cook Univ., Australia) provides a broad-ranging survey and discussion of understudied topics in the field of tourism research. The author writes from a multidisciplinary perspective, but his background in psychology comes through with topics such as tourist motivations, emotional reactions, behaviors, satisfaction, and learning. As a handbook for researchers and students, the volume works well by including a breadth of topics: the effects of newer technologies on the tourist experience, tourist safety, patterns of tourist movement, volunteer tourism, tourist ecological footprint, slow tourism, and more.C. R. Yano, University of Hawai'I, USA in CHOICE, May 2012 Vol. 49 No. 09
