Destinations have been studied from diverse perspectives using multiple concepts and a range of approaches. As a result, destination research today has become increasingly fragmented as studies have become more specialized. There is a need for a more integrated approach, one which systematically draws together these different research threads to provide a comprehensive and coherent picture and a fuller understanding of destinations, their structure and how they function. This book provides such a synthesis by critically reviewing a wide range of international research and incorporating in one volume many different facets of destinations from studies which have appeared in related but often divergent literatures. Conceptual and methodological issues are illustrated with empirical examples from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Oceania. This material is drawn together around two major structural themes: spatial and organizational structure. Spatial structure concerns the physical location, distribution, configuration and inter-connectedness of products, services and actors and the factors which underlie the resultant patterns of these. Organizational structure focuses on the diverse configurations and the ways in which multiple actors, collectively and individually, come together, interact and behave to produce the experiences sought by tourists. The originality and contribution of this work lies in the systematic examination and combination of these two themes across destinations from the national to the local scale. This integrated approach provides fresh insights, produces a comprehensive understanding of destinations and identifes avenues for future research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: Introduction: the Spatial and Organizational Structure of Destinations 2: Perspectives on Destinations 3: Frameworks for Tourist Destinations 4: Analysing the Structure of Destinations 5: Structure of National Destinations 6: Structure of Regional Destinations 7: Structure of Urban Destinations 8: Structure of Coastal Resorts¬ 9: Structure of Ski Resorts and Rural and Natural Area Destinations 10: Spatial and Organizational Structure of Destinations: a Synthesis","brand":"CABI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741672124759,"sku":"9781789245837","price":93.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789245837.jpg?v=1723812417"},{"product_id":"dark-tourism-and-pilgrimage-9781789241877","title":"Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years there has been a growth in both the practice and research of dark tourism; the phenomenon of visiting sites of tragedy or disaster.

As cases, however, these studies are saturated in an astute appreciation of theoretical confluence, from Derridean spectres and hospitality to Hardt and Negri’s Empire, to Boltanski and Chiapello, Žižek, Sewell, that guy Hutnyk and the classics – Hegel, Nietzsche, Arendt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book narrates a necessary movement from crisis to justice, designing places for care and reviving a new hospitality in an always open-ended inquiry.

Yet wine language is full of fuzzy concepts (Ballester, Patris, Symoneaux, \u0026amp; Valentin, 2008) and the very act of naming sensory experiences can be an act of categorisation, demarcation, separation, or rejection. Indeed, wine consumers experience more of the intrinsic characteristics of a wine after they receive product information (Henley, Fowler, Yuan, Stout, \u0026amp; Goh, 2011).  In this chapter, we consider the language used to talk about wine, specifically the personification of wine (e.g., powerful, fleshy, sexy).  We demonstrate that metaphoric language is integral to the experience of wine.  We conclude that metaphoric language is a platform for engaging younger wine tourists in the cellar door experience, which is a significant revenue source for micro, small, and medium wineries (Dodd, 2000).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFactors Influencing Consumer Wine Choice - The Case of Wine Tourism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Connolly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMARGARET CONNOLLY Dublin Institute of Technology\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsing Importance-Performance Analysis to Understand the Wine Tourism Experience of Generation Z\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimitrios Stergiou, \u003c\/b\u003eGreek Open University, Greece\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCASES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003ecase study :\u003c\/b\u003e \"\u003cb\u003eProfiling winery tourists in Southern Greece\u003c\/b\u003e\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDr. Panagiotis Tataridis, Technological Educational Institution of Athens (TEI of Athens)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.     3.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINE EXPERIENCES: experience design, product development, product innovation and differentiation, wine and wine experiences , wine tourism events\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eMaximizing wine tourism experience in the winery\u003c\/b\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e  Dr. Panagiotis Tataridis, Assistant Professor\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDepartment of Enology \u0026amp; Beverage Technology\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTechnological Educational Institution of Athens (TEI of Athens) \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInnovation in Food \u0026amp; Wine Tourism Related Businesses: \"Turning Ashes to Gold\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Dimitris Karagiannis PhD Researcher, Department of Economics,  University of Thessaly\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMr Theodore Metaxas, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics,  University of Thessaly\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContribution of Research and Development in Oenology to Wine Tourism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMaroula Dimopoulou, Ph.D., Oenology University of Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWine tourism starts to gain a sophisticated profile as the consumers become more educated and exigent. Tourists are attracted by the authentic nature and the quality of the product as well as by the terroir experience. The greek wine is receiving recognition at international level but a greater effort and more research should be carried out in this context. The field of research and development (R\u0026amp;D) in Oenology can largely contribute to the identification of the greek wine sensorial attributes and further promote the viticulture heritage. More specifically, the analysis of the aromatic profile of indigenous grape varieties, the identification of the indigenous microflora, the adaptation of the winemaking techniques, are examples which could highlight the originality and quality of greek wines. Wine tourism is for sure more attracted by ‘high recognition’ products, which respect the tradition and foster at the same time local development. In the competitive context of wine tourism at an international level, the R\u0026amp;D in Oenology should be part of the greater strategy for tourism promotion via wine terroir experience.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCASES \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase study:\u003c\/b\u003e Oinoxeneia: a wine tourism event in Aegialeia, Peloponesse\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMaria Tsoukala, municipality of Aigialeia, Peloponnese, Aigio, Greece\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ecase study \u003c\/b\u003e- Transforming wine tourism experience: The role of wine entrepreneurs’ identity\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAise Kim, School of Management, University of South Australia\u003c\/p\u003e  Abstract – Wine entrepreneur’s identity plays a critical role as a mediator in transforming wine branding and winery-based place making process. Such story telling of wine entrepreneur’s identity can make a stronger connection to creating memorable and unique wine tourism experience. Yet, there has been little research on how wine entrepreneurs’ unique identity is shaped by various factors - their connection to the local culture and place, their vision for creating innovative wine making process, and their personal life story as wine entrepreneurs’ success and hardship. This chapter will focus on exploring different aspects of wine entrepreneur’s identity and their impacts on tourists’ wine tourism experience, using different case studies in South Australia (e.g. Jacob Creek winery, Yalumba winery, and Wolf Brass winery).\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthenticity in Artisan Wine Tourism?

But it is a collective of artisan winemakers who call the Basket Range home are re-shaping the Australian wine identity, both in domestic and key export markets, through their authenticity and non-conformist approaches to winemaking, (and life). The terroir of the Basket Range and the narratives of this artisan collective has the potential to have a ‘Mecca effect’ on food and wine tourists who seek experiences that are commensurate with their food and wine involvement.  This case study explores themes of authenticity and integrity at the Basket Range’s inaugural festival. This festival provides a unique opportunity to explore how these artisans can authentically enact a tourist event, and on the other side of the coin, the opportunity to capture tourist impressions of the festival.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.      4. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINE DESTINATIONS: infrastructure development, wine routes, wine itineraries development, industry collaboration and synergies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWine tourism destination development: the case of Granite Belt \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eArwen McGregor1 \u0026amp; Richard Robinson, Queensland Wine Industry Association\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAdapting Wang and Xiang’s \u003ci\u003eDestination Marketing Alliance\u003c\/i\u003e theory framework (2007) this chapter seeks to identify collaboration networks factors within an emerging wine tourism region and identify destination development processes.

The findings showed that stakeholders needed commitment, and communication, from collaborative organisations, plus trust for a positive perception of a regional collaboration. Interestingly, the study showed that many industry stakeholders did not see themselves in the tourism industry.

Such market conditions have been described as typical of a “red ocean”, where producers are forced to trade on price, and profits are competed away (see Kim and Mauborgne, 2005).  Within this context, this chapter explores the rationale for innovation, and examines a number of so-called “blue-ocean” innovations occurring in the South African and New Zealand wine industries.  In South Africa, these include the development of a unique coffee flavoured pinotage, a rooibos tea flavoured merlot, the use of clay pots as a replacement of oak barrels, and the production of wine flavoured ice-lollies.  From New Zealand the development of an innovative wine-buyers’ club, and the sale of varietal-specific grape juice is showcased. A consequent typology of wine innovation is proposed, with suggestions as to where further innovation may be anticipated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSocial Media and wine tourism marketing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMarianna Sigala, University of South Australia \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe chapter will review the various social media tools and marketing practices used in wine tourism.

Although the festivals aim mostly at tourism, they contribute in a wider way to the life of the rural communities, acting as devices through which a community redefines itself, reinforces its sociality, reshapes the perception and use of the surrounding environment.

One of the main areas of air transport that was and will be affected significantly by the changed circumstances  - is facilitation – a subject  that is regulated by the Chicago Convention of 1944 and its Annex 9.  This book looks in depth at  the Annex as it will be applied in a post pandemic world, against its legal, socio-political, and economic impacts, addressing the Standards of the Annex on clearance of aircraft; entry and departure of passengers; and the carriage of cargo. It also discusses some critical aviation events in 2020 and 2021 that occurred as they relate to facilitation of air transport.  Some of the key areas discussed are the role of ICAO; issues of public health as they relate to air transport; security of travel documents; smuggling of persons; digital technology and rights of the passenger; unruly passengers; carriage of disabled passengers; relief flights and repatriation flights; and facilities at airports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface.- Chapter 1.

While in 1950 international tourism receipts totaled about 2 billion dollars, by 2006 this value had reached 735 billion dollars -- about 2 billion dollars a day (World Tourism Barometer, 2007). Nowadays, the sector originates more than one third of world exports of services and over 70% of those in the poorest countries (European Commission, 2007). Tourism is therefore an important driver of growth and prosperity and, particularly within developing countries, the sector is also important for poverty reduction (World Economic Forum, 2007). Mainly dominated by small-medium enterprises, tourism accounts for 4% of the Euro Area''s GDP, with about two million enterprises employing about 4% of the total labour force (approximately eight million jobs). When linkages to other sectors are considered, the contribution of tourism to GDP increases to about 11%, and the employment rate reaches about 12%, creating about 24 million jobs. Besides incomes and jobs, tourism has fostered development in the vast majority of European regions; infrastructures built for tourism reasons contribute to local development, and jobs are created or preserved even in areas suffering industrial or rural decline or experiencing urban regeneration (European Commission, 2007). This book provides new research on tourism development from around the globe.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886652535127,"sku":"9781604568530","price":166.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781604568530.jpg?v=1722541050"},{"product_id":"capitalist-globalisation-corporatised-tourism-their-alternatives-9781606921128","title":"Capitalist Globalisation, Corporatised Tourism \u0026","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAny realistic understanding of contemporary tourism in the 21st century must be grounded in a context of the dynamics of capitalist globalisation. Sociologist Leslie Sklair''s conceptualisation of capitalist globalisation and its dynamics as expressed in his \"sociology of the global system\" (2002) is employed to understand the corporatised tourism phenomenon and explain the resistance that it sparks. This discussion explains how a corporatised tourism sector has been created by transnational tourism and travel corporations, professionals in the travel and tourism sector, transnational practices such as the liberalisation being imposed through the General Agreement on Trade in Services negotiations and the culture-ideology of consumerism that tourists have adopted. These institutions, agents and processes have created a self-reinforcing system built upon growth dynamics and ever higher profit accumulation. This system reaps profits for industry and exclusive holidays for privileged tourists, but generates social and ecological costs which inspire vigorous challenge and resistance. Perhaps the most significant manifestation of this resistance is the coalition of the justice tourism movement which is seeking to replace the system of corporatised tourism with a more just, socially-concerned and sustainable tourism system. Such events suggest that the long-term future of tourism will be subject to macro-level tensions and challenges which forward-thinking tourism management will need to heed cautiously.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886682714455,"sku":"9781606921128","price":45.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781606921128.jpg?v=1722541165"},{"product_id":"economic-contributions-of-national-park-visitations-analyses-of-spending-effects-9781608760053","title":"Economic Contributions of National Park","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe National Park Service (NPS) manages the nation''s most iconic destinations that attract millions of visitors from across the nation and around the world.

The practice of international tourism generally implies cross-cultural experiences on the part of both tourists and service providers. Given the marked differences between the cultures of Asian and Western travelers, and since Asian cultures are heterogeneous, an understanding of the impact of rules of behaviour between international travelers from different cultural backgrounds will be critical for the effective operation of tourism in Vietnam. This book investigates the major cultural differences between Vietnamese hosts and Chinese, French and American travelers that impinge upon host-guest social and cultural interactions. Within the tourism literature, markets have been divided on the basis of psychographics, geographic and behavioural characteristics. Amongst these methods, the common ones are nationality, benefits sought, tourist role and social class, with nationality and rules of social interaction (or rules of behaviour) being the most important segmentation variables to be included. This book has both practical and academic significance. Drawing upon the marketing, tourism, and cultural studies literature and examining cultural values in tourism settings, the research presented in this book provides some strategic directions for tourism managers and marketers. From a theoretical perspective, this book provides an enriched understanding of Rokeach''s and Argyle''s models. These instruments have previously been applied in the fields of sociology, psychology, and marketing. In the present case, these models are used with some modifications to measure the cross-cultural service interactions and the associated insights that are useful for tourism researchers, developers, marketers, and managers. This book is evidence based and can serve as a guide to meet the needs of Asian and Western tourists with particular reference to the important influence of cultural backgrounds and rules of behaviour on touristhost service interactions in cross-cultural settings. It applies the empirically based models to development-related challenges confronting the tourism sector.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887204675927,"sku":"9781634833202","price":127.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781634833202.jpg?v=1722543497"},{"product_id":"overtourism-lessons-for-a-better-future-9781642830767","title":"Overtourism: Lessons for a Better Future","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore COVID-19 hit, the biggest problem in the world of travel was overtourism. Crowds threatened to spoil natural environments and make daily life unbearable for residents of popular travel destinations. Then, seemingly overnight, tourism nearly ceased. Yet there is no question that travel will resume; the only question is, when it does, what will it look like? Will we return to a world of overrun monuments, littered beaches, and gridlocked city streets? Or can we do things differently this time?  Overtourism: Lessons for a Better Future charts a path toward tourism that is not only sustainable but regenerative for the places we love and the people who live there. Bringing together tourism officials, city council members, travel journalists, consultants, scholars, and trade association members, this practical book explores overcrowding from a variety of perspectives. After examining the causes and effects of overtourism, it turns to management approaches in five distinct types of tourism destinations:  1. historic cities; 2. national parks and protected areas; 3. World Heritage Sites; 4. beaches and coastal communities; and 5. destinations governed by regional and national authorities.  While each location presents its own challenges, common mitigation strategies are emerging. Visitor education, traffic planning, and redirection to lesser-known sites are among the measures that can protect the economic benefit of tourism without overwhelming local communities.  As tourism revives around the world, these innovations will guide government agencies, parks officials, site managers, civic groups, environmental NGOs, tourism operators, and others with a stake in protecting our most iconic places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword \\ Elizabeth Becker Acknowledgments Chapter 1.
