Book Synopsis Tourism and Leisure Mobilities by : Jillian Rickly
Download or read book Tourism and Leisure Mobilities written by Jillian Rickly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reframes tourism, as well as leisure, within mobilities studies to challenge the limitations that dichotomous understandings of home/away, work/leisure, and host/guest bring. A mobilities approach to tourism and leisure encourages us to think beyond the mobilities of tourists to ways in which tourism and leisure experiences bring other mobilities into sync, or disorder, and as a result re-conceptualizes social theory. The proposed anthology stretches across academic disciplines and fields of study to illustrate the advantages of multi-disciplinary conversation and, in so doing, it challenges how we approach studies of movement-based phenomena and the concept of scale. Part One examines the ways in which mobility informs and is informed by leisure, from everyday practices to leisure-inspired mobile lifestyles. Part Two investigates individuals and communities that become entrepreneurial in the face of changing tourism contexts and reflects on the performance of work through multiple mobilities. Part Three turns to issues of development, with attention to the cultural politics that frame development encounters in the context of tourism. The varied ways that people move into and out of development projects is mediated by geopolitical discourses hat can both challenge and perpetuate geographic imaginations of tourism destinations.

Book Synopsis Leisure and Tourism Landscapes by : Cara Aitchison
Download or read book Leisure and Tourism Landscapes written by Cara Aitchison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly significant as mediators of spatial identity and meaning, leisure, tourism, culture and heritage are only now beginning to be located within the rapidly evolving discourses of poststructuralist geographies. Exploring the influence of leisure and tourism on the production, representation and consumption of landscape, the first half of this important book focuses on different ways of ‘seeing’ or representing landscape, whereas the second half examines different forms of productive consumption in leisure and tourism. Both symbolic and material spaces of leisure and tourism are also examined in relation to urban and rural landscapes, heritage landscapes, gendered landscapes, and landscapes of sexuality and desire. With a multidisciplinary approach and a strong theoretical content which builds on poststructuralist theories, this is undoubtedly an important addition to literature in the field.
Book Synopsis The Problem of Pleasure by : Carol Jones
Download or read book The Problem of Pleasure written by Carol Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tourism and leisure industries are big business. Opportunities for leisure and tourism have escalated as disposable income, technology, travel and education have become increasingly available in recent times. However, this trend has been juxtaposed with an increase in crime, particularly since the early the 1950s. Acquisitive crimes have been facilitated with the development of more portable and valuable commodities; some activities, such as drink driving and disorder, have now been socially defined as crimes and are more readily identified through new technology such as the increasing use of CCTV. The Problem of Pleasure covers them all. The purpose of this book is to inform and enlighten a range of readers, whose interests may be academic or commercial on possible crime events and modus operandi of criminals. The book has a global perspective, bringing together leading academics from the UK, the US, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand who examine several aspects of leisure that are vulnerable to crime, from illegal hunting to street racing, as well as the impact of crime upon tourists and the tourism industry. This book will be a key text for students of tourism and leisure as well as criminology and sociology; people working in the tourism and recreation industry; policy makers and the police.

Book Synopsis Marketing in Leisure and Tourism by : Patricia Click Janes
Download or read book Marketing in Leisure and Tourism written by Patricia Click Janes and published by Venture Publishing (PA). This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Welcome to the roller-coaster world of marketing decision making. There are many things to consider, many issues to face, and this book will show how this process can be less frightening and risky than a roller-coaster ride, yet feature all the thrills and enjoyment associated with it. The first chapter highlights the reasons why some leisure service agencies have not integrated marketing effectively. Further, it suggests reasons how marketing has evolved and why it is beneficial to adopt strategic marketing practices. The issues of barriers to effective marketing, strategies, and benefits are covered, as well as components of leisure service agency marketing. Foundational issues related to effective leisure service agency marketing are clarified in Chapter 2, including leisure service philosophy and its relationship to the quality of people's lives. Chapter 3 is designed to introduce a formal process for applying each of these components in a leisure service agency: funding, evaluating, and enabling marketing action through planning. Further, it addresses issues of particular concern to leisure agencies, including funding marketing efforts and measuring the impacts of these marketing decisions. Chapter 4 addresses the premise that all activities are driven by quality service standards. Quality service involves every aspect of an agency from the products, services, and the experiences it provides, to the standards (e.g., cleanliness, hiring) and processes it creates (e.g., policies/procedures). Chapter 5 discusses research as the heart of effective marketing. Research is needed throughout the marketing process and provides assistance to each phase. Research addresses issues related to understanding demographic and leisure trends; needs of targeted markets; satisfaction of employees, volunteers, and customers; and questions like whether that $10,000 per month billboard is worth the investment. Chapters 6 through 8 are dedicated to developing skills in strategic analysis. Anyone can spend a marketing budget but not everyone can be successful at it. Therefore the key to effective decisions is analyzing and developing a strategy that is based on sound principles and evidence. Targeted markets can be developed through understanding current systems, issues, and future plans. In Chapter 7, the process for target market creation is outlined identifying techniques for selecting appropriate markets. Once determined, agencies can develop a formal strategy for marketing. Chapter 8 highlights ways in which an agency can position themselves and develop or enhance the brand image. It is in this chapter that an agency learns to develop specific target market objectives, and from these objectives, communication decisions will be based. Finally, determining communication decisions is often thought of as the most creative part of marketing decision making. Decisions that are first made in this phase relate to product, service, program, facility, distribution, and pricing considerations. Next, brand image and promotion decisions are made, followed by the various tools used to communicate with the targeted audiences -- public and community relations, advertising, sponsorship, stewardship, selling, and internal marketing. In Chapters 9-14, techniques for effective use of each decision and tool are shared, which will help agencies make successful decisions to achieve target market objectives. This book is supported by an impressive array of online instructor materials including: sample syllabi PowerPoint slides test bank sample marketing plans audio chapter reviews related articles photographs discussion board and more!" -- Publisher.

Book Synopsis Heritage, Tourism, and Race by : Antoinette T Jackson
Download or read book Heritage, Tourism, and Race written by Antoinette T Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heritage, Tourism, and Race views heritage and leisure tourism in the Americas through the lens of race, and is especially concerned with redressing gaps in recognizing and critically accounting for African Americans as an underrepresented community in leisure. Fostering critical public discussions about heritage, travel, tourism, leisure, and race, Jackson addresses the underrepresentation of African American leisure experiences and links Black experiences in this area to discussions of race, place, spatial imaginaries, and issues of segregation and social control explored in the fields of geography, architecture, and the law. Most importantly, the book emphasizes the importance of shifting public dialogue from a singular focus on those groups who are disadvantaged within a system of racial hierarchy, to those actors and institutions exerting power over racialized others through practices of exclusion. Heritage, Tourism, and Race will be invaluable reading for academics and students engaged in the study of museums, as well as architecture, anthropology, public history, and a range of other disciplines. It will also be of interest to museum and heritage professionals and those studying the construction and control of space and how this affects and reveals the narratives of marginalized communities.
