Book Synopsis Resort Spatiality by : Zelmarie Cantillon
Download or read book Resort Spatiality written by Zelmarie Cantillon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book theorises resorts as distinct kinds of urban milieux, capturing the complexity of destinations famous for ‘sun, sand and sex’ mass tourism. Drawing on qualitative field research (participant observation, interviews and photography), the book discusses examples from six international resort destinations spread across four continents: the Gold Coast, Australia; Phuket and Koh Phangan, Thailand; Cancún, Mexico; Miami, USA; and Ibiza, Spain. The book reviews the material and symbolic production of lived spaces in these resorts, considering the mutually constitutive, mutually transformative relations between their spatial formations, built environments, popular imaginaries, representations, narratives of identity, rhythms, and the experiences and practices of both tourists and locals. In doing so, it argues for more nuanced ways of conceptualising tourism, globalisation and spatiality, reimagining how these phenomena unfold in lived spaces. Taking a cultural studies approach to urban analysis, the book demonstrates the value in embracing complexity, fluidity, partiality and uncertainty. It will be of interest to students and researchers of tourism, geography, cultural studies, development studies, anthropology and sociology.
Download or read book Off the Plan written by Caryl Bosman and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gold Coast is a well-known and loved destination for local and international tourists, a city of surf and sun, pleasure and leisure. However, it is also one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, occupying the largest urban footprint outside the state capitals. How did the Gold Coast come to be what it is today? Off the Plan is the first in-depth, multidisciplinary academic study on the urbanisation and development of the Gold Coast. It addresses the historical circumstances, both accidental and intentional, that led to the Gold Coast’s infamous transition from a collection of settlements unburdened by planning regulations or a city centre to become Australia’s sixth largest city. With chapters on tourism, environment, media, architecture, governance and politics, planning, transportation, real estate development and demographics, Off the Plan demonstrates the importance that historical analysis has in understanding present-day planning problems and the value of the Gold Coast as a model for the rapidly evolving western city.

This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines and offers insights into original, transdisciplinary, conceptual, and methodological perspectives on gastronomic tourism experiences from both tourists and service providers’ perspectives. Gastronomic experiences for tourists can take many forms, including cooking classes, sustainable gastronomy, visiting farms, attending food festivals, and eating with locals in their home, among others. From an experiential marketing perspective, gastronomic tourist experiences provide an opportunity to further understand co-creation opportunities for chefs, destinations and other service providers. Service providers play a key role in packaging and promoting such experiences to differentiate destinations and build their reputation and destination image. The various chapters in this book cover a wide range of gastronomic experiences from different continents including Australia, Asia and Europe. The book also provides a review of current research themes on the topic, thus identifying areas where further research is needed. Gastronomic Tourism Experiences and Experiential Marketing is an essential read for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of Tourism, Hospitality, Management and Consumer Behaviour. This book will also be beneficial for industry practitioners and service providers who have an interest in understanding tourists who partake in gastronomic experiences. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Tourism Recreation Research.

The book includes international case studies that can help tourism scholars build and advance (new) theories and enrich their educational practices. Case studies are accompanied with a teaching note guiding scholars to integrate case studies into instruction. Dr Kirsten Holmes, Chair, Council for Australasian Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE) There is a vital need for contemporary and well-structured case studies for use in tourism teaching. By including case studies from Australasia and key destination regions in Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean, the book is helpful for tertiary teachers globally. Professor Xander Lub, President, EuroCHRIE The book inspires educators and students. The cases provide context to students’ learning and demonstrate the richness and variation of the industry. The book also clearly demonstrates how research can inform our teaching. Professor Brian King, Chair, THE-ICE Assessment Panel The book includes cases under five themes: experiences, operations, technologies, strategy and marketing, and destinations. The book provides subject lecturers with a structure to guide students of applying theory into practice. Dr Paul Whitelaw, Academic Director, Southern Cross University This book marks a significant contribution to hospitality, tourism and events pedagogy at undergraduate and postgraduate level. At a time when the industry is demanding that our graduates have a strong grasp of “real world issues”, the case study approach provides an accessible, meaningful and relatable means by which students can engage in real world issues.

Book Synopsis Strategic Management for Tourism Communities by : Peter E. Murphy
Download or read book Strategic Management for Tourism Communities written by Peter E. Murphy and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2004-11-05 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism, with its wide-ranging impact, needs to be managed effectively – but how? This book advocates taking a business approach to tourism that encourages greater collaboration between stakeholders in the practical assessment of tourism options. The approach places key business management functions and stakeholders at the forefront of tourism initiatives. The business management functions of planning, organising, leadership and control are the filters through which tourism opportunities are viewed, while the stakeholder groups of customers, residents, industry and government set the agenda for appropriate tourism development. Tourist destinations must engage in realistic assessments of their abilities to meet the needs and expectations of tourism stakeholders and then act on these assessments so their goals and objectives can be achieved. A new model for bridging stakeholder gaps is presented as a template for how communities can understand and make the most of their tourism resources. The Bridging Tourism Gaps Model is a practical tool to help destinations focus on the important factors in developing and maintaining tourism as a beneficial and vital part of their communities. This book builds on the success of Tourism: A Community Approach and the subsequent tourism planning experiences of both authors to advance strategic planning in tourism.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Directions in Tourism by : Tomás F. Espino-Rodríguez
Download or read book Sustainable Directions in Tourism written by Tomás F. Espino-Rodríguez and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the framework of tourism companies and tourist destinations, the question of sustainability is gaining importance. Tourists are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability criteria, awarding greater value to sustainable destinations. Sustainability refers to a wide range of aspects related to climate change, the economic organization of tourism, social values or questions, job creation, and the necessary protection of the culture of destinations and the environment. Therefore, there is a need for studies that consider these aspects in order to achieve the sustainable development of tourist destinations. Fundamental to this is discovering to what degree tourism companies and destinations approach these questions in the strategies they use to deal with problems stemming from their attempts to be more sustainable. Conceptual papers and empirical research on the economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects related to tourism companies and destinations are welcome. Studies that analyze how these questions and the concept of sustainability are included in tourism companies and destinations are necessary in these modern times. This book was established for these reasons, dedicated to examining sustainability in tourism. The papers included in this Special Issue can help us to determine the new directions being addressed in the research on sustainability tourism.
