Описание: This significant and timely volume aims to provide a focused analysis into tourist experiences that reflect their ever-increasing diversity and complexity, and their significance and meaning to tourists themselves. Written by leading international scholars, it offers new insight into emergent behaviours, motivations and sought meanings on the part of tourists based on five contemporary themes determined by current research activity in tourism experience:conceptualization of tourist experience; dark tourism experiences; the relationship between motivation and the contemporary tourist experience; the manner in which tourist experience can be influenced and enhanced by place; and how managers and suppliers can make a significant contribution to the tourist experience. The book critically explores these experiences from multidisciplinary perspectives and includes case studies from wide range of geographical regions. By analyzing these contemporary tourist experiences, the book will provide further understanding of the consumption of tourism.

Описание: Transformational Travel is a journey away from home, concerning a really unforgettable and powerful experience (active, cultural, natural, social or spiritual) that will enhance a persons life and advance the way they connect with both loved ones and with the world. Traveling is frequently about seeing the sights of a new place, but transformational travel is about taking a journey to see yourself in a new light. From a luxury spa to quick career apprenticeships, these three travel opportunities use different means to enact personal transformation. This book deals with the important issue of how travel and tourism can change human behaviour and have a positive impact on the world. It emphasizes on the issue of how travel and tourism, if developed in apposite form, can subsidize to human transformation, growth and development, and change human behavior and our relationship with the world. The text investigates the experiences offered by travel and tourism that can change travelers as human beings and their relationships and interactions with natural, socio-cultural, economic, political and technological environments.

Описание: Traditionally, tourism media has referred to the image of destinations constructed through media texts such as brochures and postcards, with increasing attention towards other mediascapes such as films and television. Yet, with prolific advancements in technologies of media communication, such traditional formats have experienced a shift in the productive and consumptive practices through which they come into being. The possibilities of production and subsequent consumption are unequivocally changing the ways in which tourists imagine, understand and engage with destinations. This book therefore explores the role of tourism media and mediating practices in the development of non-linear processes of communication and understanding as both producers and consumers come together to negotiate the tourist experience. In varying ways it examines the emergent relationships and connections between media practices and tourism practices, everyday experiences and encounters of place. Collectively, the authors in this book address a range of media and technologies from brochures, television, video and film to mediated virtual spaces, such as e-brochures, Internet cultures, social networks, and Google Earth. In doing so, the book highlights the continued significance of media in tourism contexts; recognising both traditional and newer technologies, and the non-linear, continuous cycle of mediated representations and experiences.
