Food Tourist

~~99,38€~~ 89,44€ 10% OFF

 The Food Tourist is an essential addition to the academic repertoire for researchers, educators, and professionals in the fields of tourism, hospitality, and gastronomy. Its innovative perspectives and unparalleled insights are sure to inspire new avenues of research and elevate the discourse surrounding food and beverage tourism.The Food Tourist delves into the understanding of the food and beverage tourist as an established area of research and provides a comprehensive, holistic approach to the complexity of food tourist profiling as a new contribution to the field. The book is divided into fourteen chapters (including introduction and conclusion) that discuss the typologies of food tourists based on the understanding of tourists’ motivations and experiences. This is particularly relevant in the context of planning and development of destination attraction factors and the management and marketing of food experiences as a pathway to increase the competitiveness of destinations. These experiences are diverse, and encapsulate cultural and natural factors, engaging visitors with a place through its people and customs.Editors Francesc Fusté-Forné and Erik Wolf explore the dietary and health needs of food tourists, and expand on previous research with a mixture of conceptual and empirical chapters written by leading academics and practitioners. The result is a detailed account of customer segmentation in food tourism research which has not been earlier explored in a single book.

Disabled Tourist - Navigating An Ableist Tourism World

by Alison Mcintosh, Brielle Gillovic e Simon Darcy

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% OFF

 This book addresses a growing demand to hear the authentic voices and understand the lived tourist experiences of people with disability. The latest volume in The Tourist Experience series challenges what is arguably an exclusionary, marginalising, discriminatory, and ableist (tourism) world. By drawing attention to the ‘dis/’ in ‘disabled’, the authors provoke the need to change binary thinking about people who live with disability so that they may be ‘able’ to assume the role of tourist. They engage critical tourism and critical disability studies, and their respective theories, perspectives, and debates, around, for instance, models of disability that shape conceptualisations and worldviews, inclusive research and enabling language, and the ethics of care. These are pivotal to dismantling normative structures to enable a more inclusive, equitable, and socially just tourist experience that promotes a more independent and dignified tourism world for people with disability.

by Melanie Smith e Xavier Matteucci

Youth Tourist - Motives, Experiences And Travel Behaviour

by Anna Irimias

99,38€ + 10% CARD

 Youth tourists are often defined as money poor and time rich but there are significant differences in social status, interests, and consumption behaviour within the various segments of this sector. In The Youth Tourist: Motives, Experiences and Travel Behaviour, author Anna Irimiás maps out the heterogenous segment of the ‘Millennial’ market to help illustrate the rich diversity of youth tourist motivations and behaviours.Drawing on theories found in social psychology, media, and communication and consumer behaviour to describe youth tourists on family holidays, on study and working abroad programs, and participating in pilgrimages, festivals, and media-induced tourism events, Irimiás adds significant detail to youth tourist travel patterns in light of current societal changes. She also analyses future trends in youth tourism and addresses the implications of current challenges such as climate change and digitalization, and the potential changes to the industry in light of the pandemic. The Youth Tourist presents new perspectives to researchers of Tourism Studies and the Sociology of Travel who are looking for a contemporary and critical analysis of this important market sector.

Unravelling Travelling - Uncovering Tourist Emotions Through Autoethnography

by Sue Beeton

98,04€ + 10% CARD

 The Tourist Experience is complex, intrinsically personal, and highly emotional. Consequently, it is not easy to understand what it is that drives us to continue to travel, and to return to places visited. It is important for all sides of the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries to understand what tourists are searching for as well as what they experience, with emotions playing a central role.The research outlined in Unravelling Travelling: Uncovering Tourist Emotions through Autoethnography delves into the deep, personal, and very subjective emotions experienced while travelling to foreign places. Taking an autoethnographic approach, this evocative, reflexive, critical and analytical study uncovers a range of personal emotional drivers that resonate across disciplinary boundaries.Examining the development of autoethnography in the social sciences, where the researchers often expose deeply personal experiences that cannot be directly interpreted from an outsider’s perspective, Unravelling Travelling offers an in-depth commentary on the role of autoethnography in the tourism field. This personal account from author Sue Beeton goes beyond simple memoir, exposing the practices of researcher, as well as the methodology employed. Personal travel narratives and poems not only uncover emotions that may not be evident through other research approaches, but also by being highly critical of her own work, Beeton argues the case for and against autoethnography itself.
