The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Handbook of Social Tourism by Anya Diekmann, Scott McCabe

Interest in tourism with a social imperative is gaining momentum not only amongst policy makers, but also researchers and the academy. This thought-provoking and timely Handbook considers the impact and challenges that social tourism has on people's lives.   Integrating case studies from around the world, chapters showcase the latest research on social tourism and its potential role in tackling the challenges posed by modern, mass tourism development that can lead to sustainable alternatives and social equity in participation. Contributors explore tourism activities that are directed towards positive social and personal outcomes for people who would not be able to access leisure or holiday travel without such interventions and illustrate the social imperative of tourism as a force for good.   The Handbook of Social Tourism enables academics and students from various disciplines, as well as practitioners in the tourism sector, to obtain a more holistic understanding of this phenomenon and offers an enlightening and stimulating read. Contributors include: C. Billen, N. Carr, J.D. Cisneros-Martinez, V. Cops, A. Diekmann, V. Eichhorn, A.E. Estrada-Gonzalez, C. Eusebio, A. Fernandez-Morales, J. Finniear, E. Herengodts, E.

Review

'At least for this reviewer, this book has two unquestionable merits. On one hand, it gives a fresh snapshot of the problem of poverty and inequalities accelerated by modern consumption. On another, an all-encompassing diagnosis shaped by interdisciplinary research, which was conducted by worldly researchers, is generously offered as interplay between theory and practice.' -- Maximiliano E Korstanje, Tourism Management'This Handbook brings together cutting-edge work that addresses experiences from around the globe and examines social tourism from many angles and at many levels. The Handbook of Social Tourism advances our understanding of the conceptualisation of social tourism and how it is applied in practice at various points around the world. The chapters in this book contribute to building an argument that social tourism advances not only social inclusion, social equity and social justice through the capacities of tourism and tourism stakeholders, but also wider sustainability in tourism. It is hard to find faults in this comprehensive and valuable work.' -- Freya Higgins-Desbiolles, International Journal of Tourism Policy
