Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-80392-433-5 (ISBN)
Interdisciplinary and multidimensional in its approach, this insightful Research Agenda critically analyses the principal issues that have emerged in recent years from tourism and wellbeing studies. It provides a detailed analysis of definitions and key concepts and explores the research agenda related to product and service development, motivation, segmentation and management using established as well as experimental methodologies.
Enlightening contributions from leading scholars detail the role, indicators, and measurement of wellbeing in tourism economics, expertly examining issues of individual wellbeing and how experiences of wellbeing can be facilitated for both employees and tourists. The various impacts of tourism on wellbeing are analysed from a diverse range of perspectives, including collective experiences of social and diasporic tourism and individual experiences of wellbeing and transformation.
Succinct and cutting-edge, A Research Agenda for Tourism and Wellbeing will appeal to students, academics, and researchers in tourism, sociology, economics, business, psychology, and human geography. It will also prove insightful to practitioners involved in product and service development, tourism and destination, marketing and human resources management sectors.
