Berghahn Books Envisioning Eden: Mobilizing Imaginaries in
Book Synopsis As tourism service standards become more homogeneous, travel destinations worldwide are conforming yet still trying to maintain, or even increase, their distinctiveness. Based on more than two years of fieldwork in Yogyakarta, Indonesia and Arusha, Tanzania, this book offers an in-depth investigation of the local-to-global dynamics of contemporary tourism. Each destination offers examples that illustrate how tour guide narratives and practices are informed by widely circulating imaginaries of the past as well as personal imaginings of the future.Trade Review “This is a well-written and rewarding book which offers an intriguing insight not only into the world of tour guides, but also into the kinship between anthropology and tour guiding. It will be of interest to anthropologists of tourism, as well as to those with an interest in the cultures of globalization and cosmopolitanism.” · Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute “Envisioning Eden summarises a number of major scholarly discussions, brings them into a fruitful dialogue with ethnographic details, and provides a theoretical roadmap for further investigations of various kinds of mobility and encounters with cultural Others. This volume is highly recommended for students and scholars interested in tourism, globalization, and mobility studies, as well as for scholars with a regional focus on Indonesia or Tanzania.” · Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale "Salazar’s study provides an interesting, innovative and fresh approach to local-to-global dynamics. The strength of the book is its richness in terms of theoretical thinking; Salazar manages to address complex issues in an engaging way and the book contributes much to the theoretical discussions which it tackles" · Ethnos “It is a well written book, surprisingly easy to follow, it might attract readers from outside the tourism research community and possibly from outside academia. Using a lot of travel metaphors, playing with words according to the subject makes a linguistically attractive text.” · Anthropos “[This volume] it is arguably the best ethnography of tour guide training and performance available, certainly in the context of less-developed nations…This is a very well-written book and, like all good guides, Salazar uses storytelling well to convey his arguments to the reader. The volume is also well illustrated with the author’s own photographs…Salazar draws upon a raft of new theoretical material and research to inform his perspectives, which provides for solid analysis, stimulating discussion and a good springboard for researchers looking to explore similar themes. The writing also benefits from his rigorous fieldwork and own personal experiences. Salazar brings a passion to his work, which makes for an interesting and valuable contribution…[Edward Bruner’s foreword is] an unexpected delight.” · International Journal of Heritage Studies “[The book] offers a very compelling insight into how tourism imaginaries have become global …It makes a very significant contribution to the study of tourism, particularly in terms of the relatively understudied role of guides in the circulation of ‘national’ and ‘international’ imaginaries. I strongly recommend this book to scholars across all academic disciplines who are interested in the intricacies of tourism imaginaries and their interaction with ‘glocal’ forces. This book will encourage them to look further into this area from their own disciplinary platform.” · Journal of Heritage Tourism "Salazar is an anthropologist... The central themes of his argument involve explorations of 'glocalization' and the creation and manipulation of 'imaginaries', a particularly valuable and exportable interdisciplinary concept... The author moves beyond his own comfort zones, and generally there is much to be learned from his meticulous research and exposition... [T]here is a great deal here to inform and stimulate." · New Global Studies "The strength of this work lies in the close following of apprentice tour guides and the attempt to capture their appropriation of apparently universal tourist fantasies in narrative frames... the exploration of tour guides as a paradigm for a glocal imperative." · H-Net Reviews "I am very impressed with this book. It is the best ethnography of tour guide training and performance to date. Indeed its probing analyses and its many comments make a great contribution to our understanding of contemporary international and intercultural tourism. It is very well written and superbly referenced." · Nelson Graburn, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley "This is a lively and enjoyable book based on rigorous research which highlights the power and persuasiveness of international tourism while, at the same time, critically, it reminds us that tourism is ultimately about people and their stories." · Mike Robinson, Director, Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change "This book is the reference for tourism imaginaries academia was waiting for. Based on excellent ethnographic work that disentangles 'glocal' issues, it demonstrates that globalization divides the planet as much as bringing it together. Tourism and the encounters it generates are pertinently analyzed as central pieces of the new anthropology of glocalization." · Maria Gravari-Barbas, Director IREST, UNESCO Chair: Culture-Tourism-Development "Noel Salazar's contribution to understanding globalization and localization processes is informed and persuasive, using tourism-the phenomenon which has turned our world into a global village-to illuminate, par excellence, the resulting intersects, overlaps, and especially clashes now dominating our shared history." · Jafar Jafari, Founding Editor, Annals of Tourism Research "...a clear, well-organized interesting piece of original research on two exceptionally interesting and productively comparable destinations. It is well placed within the tourism studies literature." · Sally Ann Ness, Professor, University of California, RiversideTable of Contents List of Figures Foreword: Circulating Culture by Edward Bruner Preface Acknowledgments Abbreviations Chapter 1.

CABI Publishing Vacation Decision-Making
Book SynopsisThis book explores the complex decision-making processes involved in choosing and buying tourism products and services. It combines a theoretical overview of the basics of tourist behaviour and decision-making, with the results of an in-depth qualitative study of vacationers. It considers both the generic decision to go on vacation, or not, and more specific travel decisions, such as destination and accommodation type, from an individual and social point of view. It looks at how, when, and why such decisions are made, and the factors that influence the final outcome. The book concludes by rejecting existing tourist typologies in favour of a new typology of vacationers.Table of Contents1: Introducing Vacation Decision Making 2: Models of Vacation Decision Making 3: Methods to Investigate Vacation Decision Making 4: The Context of Vacation Decision Making 5: Vacation Planning and Decision Making Process 6: Destination Perception, Evaluation and Choice 7: Post-Experience Processes 8: Group Processes in Vacation Decision Making 9: A New Typology of Vacationers

CABI Publishing Quality Assurance and Certification in Ecotourism
Book SynopsisGenuine ecotourism can have many positve impacts, particularly the conservation of biodiversity and cultural heritage and the creation of economic opportunities for local communities. While promoting these, it aims to eleminate negative impacts such as environmental degradation, cultural commoditisation and playground effects. Unfortunately, the concept is broadly misunderstood and its true definition is widely debated. It is often used as a marketing tool, with some operators taking advantage of the ecotourism label to attract more business while behaving in environmentally irresponsible ways. This book considers the important topic of quality control and accreditation in ecotourism, describing the mechanisms that can be implemented to ensure quality in all aspects of the industry, namely protected areas, businesses, producs and tour guides.Table of Contents1: Achieving Quality in Ecotourism: Tools in the Tool Box 2: Green and Gold?

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!

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 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

CABI Publishing Giants of Tourism
Book SynopsisThe development of tourism and its associated elements owes much to the efforts of individuals. Many of them left imprints on tourism, through their innovations, promotion or insight, that have continued long after they have departed the scene. This volume consists of essays by experts in their fields on individuals who have influenced tourism over many hundreds of years of travel: development of destinations, services and accommodation, creation of transportation links and attractions, tourist behaviour, innovations in the era of large scale tourism and establishment of future trends.Table of ContentsPart I: Giants of Hospitality 1: Historical Giants: Forefathers of Modern Hospitality and Tourism 2: The Master of Ceremonies: Beau Nash and the Rise of Bath, 1700-1750 3: Sir William Edward Heygate Colbourne (Billy) Butlin, 1899-1980 4: Conrad 'Connie' Nicholson Hilton,1887-1979: the Consummate Hotelier 5: The DeHaan Family and RCI: the Development of the Timeshare Industry Part II: Giants of Travel 6: Thomas Cook: Image and Reality 7: Baedeker: the Perceived 'Inventor' of the Formal Guidebook - a Bible for Travellers in the 19th Century 8: Freddie Laker: First Giant of Low-cost Air Travel 9: Sir Stelios: the Easy-going Entrepreneur 10: Richard Branson: 'Screw It, Let's Do It' Part III: Giants of Activities 11: Walt Disney's World of Entertainment Attractions 12: Stanley Ho Hung-sun: the 'King of Gambling' 13: Kerry Packer: World Series Cricket (WSC) and the (R)Evolution of Modern Sports-related Tourism 14: AJ Hackett - a Giant of Tourism Part IV: Giants of Development 15: A.P.
