CABI Publishing Marine Ecotourism: Between the Devil and the Deep
Book SynopsisThe planet's most fascinating and yet tantalisingly under-researched component is now a rapidly growing tourism frontier. The sea attracts millions of tourists annually with its diverse array of exclusive activities, but its sheer size brings with it considerable problems for management. Within the context of other economic activities that may compromise the success, if not the very existence of marine ecotourism, this text examines the wide range of marine ecotourism resources, not only natural, but also cultural and man-made. Covering economic, marketing planning and regulation issues, this book also considers the vital role of marine ecotourism in raising awareness of the significance of the seas and oceans to sustainable coastal livelihoods. At a time of great concern over the effects of climate change and high profile issues such as depletion of fish stocks and oil spillages, the insights this book provides are essential reading.Table of ContentsChapter 1: INTRODUCTION SECTION I: PATTERNS AND PROCESSES Chapter 2: Marine Ecotourism in Context Chapter 3: Marine Ecotourism Resources Chapter 4: Marine Ecotourism Attractions and Activities SECTION II: PRIMARY STAKEHOLDERS AND INTERESTS Chapter 5: Coastal Communities Chapter 6: Marine Ecotourists Chapter 7: Marine Nature Chapter 8: The Marine Ecotourism Industry SECTION III: REGULATION, FACILITATION AND COLLABORATION Chapter 9: Planning Agencies Chapter 10: Institutional Structures Chapter 11: Networks and Initiatives Chapter 12: CONCLUSION

CABI Publishing Tourism and Gender: Embodiment, Sensuality and
Book SynopsisWhile contemporary popular discourses dismiss gender and feminism as passé, patriarchy and sexism continue to limit human possibilities around the globe. The tourism industry can be a force for empowerment but it can also shore up exploitative gendered practices. At the same time, tourism enquiry itself continues to be dominated by western, masculinist approaches.This collection of studies seeks to advance feminist and gender tourism studies with its focus on embodiment. Broad themes include the construction of narratives, how discourses of desire, sensuality and sexuality pervade the tourism experience, the use of the body to represent femininity, masculinity and sensuality, and finally how travel and tourism allow for empowerment, resistance and carnivalesque opportunities.Table of Contents1: Editors' Introduction: Tourism, gender, embodiment and experience; A Pritchard, N Morgan, I Ateljevic and C Harris 2: The body in the tourism industry; S Veijola and A Valtonen, University of Lapland, Finland 3: Ambivalent journeys: Writing travel as the feminist stranger in Desert Places; S Fullagar, Griffith University, Australia 4: Travelling for masculinity: The construction of bodies/spaces in Israeli backpackers' narratives; C Noy, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel 5: The emergence of the body in the holiday accounts of women and girls; J Small, University of Technology Sydney, Australia 6: Life's a beach and then we diet: Discourses of tourism and the 'beach body' in UK women's lifestyle magazines; F Jordan, University of West England, Bristol, UK 7: The sensual embodiment of Italian women; M Abramovici, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand 8: Bodies, carnival and honey days: The example of Coney Island; C Ryan, University of Waikato Management School, New Zealand, and H Gu, Beijing International Studies University/Beijing Tourism Bureau, China 9: The embodiment of the macho gaze in South-Eastern Europe: Performing femininity and masculinity in Albania and Croatia; I Ateljevic and D Hall, Seabank Associates, UK 10: Encountering scopophillia, sensuality and desire: Engendering Tahiti; A Pritchard and N Morgan 11: Consuming exoticism and gendered space in South Africa's The Lost City; J van Eeden, University of Pretoria, South Africa 12: Advertisements as tourism space: Learning 'masculinity' and 'femininity' from New Zealand television; F Desmarais, University of Waikato, New Zealand 13: Gender posed: The people behind the postcards; G Ringer, University of Oregon, USA 14: Travelling beyond the boundaries of constraint: Women, travel and empowerment; C Harris and E Wilson, Southern Cross University, Australia 15: Tourism and anonymity: A heterosexual man's interpretation of an Israeli lesbian women's diary; Y Poria, Ben Gurion University, Israel 16: Embodying everyday masculinities in heritage tourism(s); D Knox and K Hannam, University of Sunderland, UK 17: In search of lesbian space?

CABI Publishing Marine Wildlife and Tourism Management
Book SynopsisMarine environments have long been places of exploration, subsistence, transport and trade, but it is only recently that marine tourism has extended beyond coastal resorts and beaches. Demand for marine wildlife experiences has grown considerably in recent decades but a corresponding increase in the conservation of these environments as well as adequate legislative and management responses aimed at sustainability has not yet followed. This book demonstrates that through scientific approaches to understanding and managing tourist interactions with marine wildlife, sustainable marine tourism can be achieved. Drawing from disciplines such as marine and conservation biology and behavioural ecology, the effects of human disturbance on marine wildlife as well as management approaches to moderate these impacts are explored. Social science perspectives are also used to understand consumer demand and the ethical and legislative problems that this demand creates. This comprehensive volume provides valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners in marine conservation and tourism.Table of Contents1: Marine Wildlife and Tourism Management: In Search of Scientific Approaches to Sustainability Part I: Demand for Marine Wildlife Tourism 2: Marine Wildlife Tours: Benefits for Participants 3: Shark!

Book SynopsisThe fast-growing phenomenon of volunteer tourism encompasses a diverse range of activities, from conserving environments to working with host communities to alleviate poverty. However, understanding the complex relationship between volunteering and tourism requires a wide analytical framework. This book provides a broad and valuable insight into how volunteer tourism is growing and developing. Theoretical and empirical case studies from leading researchers in the field explore the experiences of the volunteer tourist and the power relationships between volunteers and host communities and commercial, non-commercial and government entities involved in developing and supporting volunteer tourism.

CABI Publishing Tourism and Mobilities: Local Global Connections
Book SynopsisIn the current trend of increasing globalization, relationships are evolving between global and local realities, rich and poor regions of the world and ‘old’ and ‘new’ leisure and tourism patterns. The tourist has become an active agent in their travel experiences, moving between and among multiple localities, in an environment of transnational, interconnected social networks. In order to understand the modern tourist, concepts of mobility have begun to be applied to tourism studies and have questioned whether the word tourism is any longer sufficient to describe the complex socio-political milieu of people on the move. Bringing together theoretical and practical issues, this edited volume analyses tourism’s wider role as an agent for the mobile modern population of the world. Themes range from post-modern youth and independent mobility to theoretical texts on hypermobility and citizenship within global space and mobility, media and citizenship. Offering a thought-provoking examination of modern tourism, this will be an important text for students of tourism and human geography as well as tourism professionals.Table of Contents1: The end of tourism, or endings in tourism 2: Of Time and Space and Other things: Laws of Tourism and the Geographies of Contemporary Mobilities 3: Glocal Heterotopias: Neo-Flaneur’s Transit Narratives 4: Telling Tales of Tourism: Mobility, Media and Citizenship in the 2004 EU Enlargement 5: ""Claim you are from Canada, eh"": Travelling citizenship within global space 6: International Student Mobility: Cross-cultural learning from international internships 7: Hypermobility in backpacker lifestyles: the emergence of the Internet café 8: Entering the global margin: Setting the ‘other’ scene in independent travel 9: Everyday techno-social devices in everyday travel life: digital audio devices in solo travelling lifestyles 10: Environmental discourses in the aviation industry: the reproduction of mobility 11: Political instability, trans-national tourist companies and destination recovery in the Middle East after 9/11 12: Business relations in the design of package tours in a changing environment: the case of tourism from Germany to Jordan

CABI Publishing Building Community Capacity for Tourism
Book SynopsisTourism has become an important tool for development in rural, remote and peripheral regions in the last 50 years. However, in many places, tourism has failed to produce the promised benefits and often caused negative impacts due to a lack of local entrepreneurial capacity to benefit from tourism business opportunities, inadequate understanding of tourism markets and limited community awareness of tourism and its impacts. Drawing attention to the potential outcomes to communities when using tourism as a development strategy, this book provides a focused analysis of this emerging issue and seeks to provide positive guidance on improving the process of tourism planning and development. Chapters compile evidence and examples of how community capacity for tourism can be built and enhanced using case studies from Asia, Africa, South America, the South Pacific and rural Australia and the United States. Providing models and frameworks that can be applied to any developing area, this book will be useful to both academic researchers and government policy makers interested in tourism and rural development.Table of ContentsPart I: Improving Knowledge of Tourism Development and It’s Impacts 1: Community Capacity Building An Emerging Challenge for Tourism Development G Moscardo 2: Enhancing the Economic Benefits of Tourism at the Local Level N Stoeckl 3: Understanding How Tourism can bring Socio-cultural Benefits to Destination Communities P Pearce 4: Linking a Sense of Place with a Sense of Care: Overcoming Sustainability Challenges Faced by Remote Communities K Walker Part II: Improving Community Knowledge of Tourism Development 5: Community based Tourism in Asia P Rocharungsat 6: Examples of Effective techniques for Enhancing Community Understanding of Tourism J Sammy 7: Tools to Enhance Community Capacity to Critically Evaluate Tourism Activities K Walker Part III: Improving Community Participation in Tourism Development 8: Partnerships for Tourism Development Amanda Stronza 9: Enhancing Participation of Women in Tourism Haretsebe Manwa 10: Entrepreneurship and the Rural Tourism Industry: A Primer N G.

CABI Publishing People and Work in Events and Conventions: A
Book SynopsisThe part of the tourism industry which covers events, conventions and meetings is a substantial part of the global economy and provides employment for a very large number of people worldwide. The breakdown of employees in this sector is complex - employees can be full-time, casual labour or part of a volunteer workforce, and events can be as diverse as the Olympic Games and a local meeting.

CABI Publishing Tourism Strategies and Local Responses in
Book SynopsisTourism growth is one of the primary drivers of economic development and is a core strategy at local and national levels to improve the lives of local communities. However, tourism can bring both advantages and disadvantages to communities and not all national strategies in tourism management are applicable or suitable in private, community-based and public sectors. Tourism is used as a main instrument of nation building in many postcolonial countries such as Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Madagascar. Using case studies from these areas, this book examines the strategic objectives for tourism growth and how nationally-set objectives such as economic growth, increased employment, poverty reduction, black economic empowerment, environmental sustainability and reduction of regional inequalities work at the grassroots level. Challenging ongoing practices and providing new innovations for tourism development applicable to other developing countries, this study will be useful for both researchers and decision makers in tourism.Table of Contents1: Tourism development strategies in Namibia - private and community perceptions on the national policy 2: The effectiveness of tourism in achieving rural livelihoods and conservation in the Okavango Delta, Botswana 3: Cultural tourism in Namibia - an investigation into unexplored prospects 4: Development and management of Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg World Heritage Park - community perspectives 5: Developing bird-tourism in coastal Namibia - postcolonial restraints and resources 6: The interplay of local service suppliers and incoming tour operators - case Madagascar 7: The polemic of ICT advocacy in Namibian schools for tourism development 8: The impact of HIV/AIDS on the hospitality industry in Southern Africa 9: Selling places, constructing localities - the role of Ovahimbas in tourism promotion and development in Northern Namibia 10: Community-based catering services as a means to improve rural living conditions - the Hananwas of Blouberg, Limpopo Province 11: Tourism strategies and local responses - conclusions from the Southern African experiences

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Economics, Uncertainty and European Football:
Book SynopsisThis book provides a complete picture of the development of competitive balance in the major European football countries over an extended period of time, along with some policy prescriptions for the governance of the European football market. It presents three new indices which show that European football competitions become less exciting over time. It is also shown that the lower the average number of goals per match, the more imperfect the referee and the stronger the home and away (dis)advantage, the higher the level of competitive balance will be. In the final chapter it is argued that to safeguard the competitive balance and the longstanding traditions of European football, a decommercialization of football is required. Using standard welfare economic theory, the author shows that free-of-charge public broadcasting is the preferred policy. This book is highly relevant for sports economists, higher vocational and academic students in sports studies and for policymakers in football governing bodies and competition policy agencies.Trade Review'Always wanted to know which European football league offers the most exciting competition? Or, when defensive play and erratic referees enhance the suspense? Interested to find out how a return to the situation of the non-commercial 1950s can prevent a collapse of the top leagues?

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Towards Effective Place Brand Management:
Book SynopsisMany facets of place branding, such as identities, image, promotion or sense of place, have been around for a long time. However, the need to analyse their nature in the context of branding and to examine their relationships in detail has grown rapidly in the last decade or so, as places all over the world have put branding activities higher than ever in their agenda. This important new book examines and clarifies key aspects of the recently popularised concept of place branding, expounding many controversies, confusions and discords in the field. The expert contributors clarify several unresolved issues surrounding the application of place branding, in particular its multiple goals. They provide a detailed analysis of the role of local communities in place branding strategies, and illustrate not only how, but also why brand management should be implemented. Case studies from a range of jurisdictions and cultural and political viewpoints are drawn upon, each illustrating an array of issues or techniques in specific economic, cultural and geographical contexts. This book provides a theoretically informed but practically oriented overview and discussion of the increasingly popular field of place branding as an instrument of place management. As such, it will strongly appeal to both academics and practitioners in the fields of place marketing, place branding, local development, tourism planning and development, tourism marketing, cultural geography, urban and regional planning. Consultants in local authorities, national and regional tourism boards will also find this to be a fascinating read.Trade Review‘The study and practise of place branding has reached a point where so much has been undertaken from a range of disciplines, each with its own terminology, methodology, and theoretical foundations, that the resulting mass requires distillation.
