Tourism is an inherently social phenomenon. Tourists travel with others and experience places and cultures through interacting with both familiar and unfamiliar others. This volume presents a thorough tour of the social psychological processes which underpin contemporary travel. The fascinating phenomenon of tourist behaviour deals with topics such as motivation, destination choice, travellers' on site experiences, satisfaction and learning. This book uses an array of developing and recently constructed conceptual frameworks to both synthesise what is established, and to create new insights and directions for further analysis and, ultimately, management action.

Marketing rural tourism : experience and enterprise
\"Gunjan Saxena seeks to encourage a fuller understanding of rural tourism marketing by uncovering the lived experiences and enterprise of different actor groups as they respond to the impact of tourism on their communities and cultural identities. Marketing Rural Tourism presents actor narratives to reveal nuances inherent in their practices and perceptions as they develop, support or oppose tourism in their locality.

Academics in the area of marketing and tourism, as well as development studies, will appreciate the contribution this book will make to the wider marketing discourse that circulates about rural destinations. The book will also be a valuable resource to undergraduate students looking to incorporate fresh conceptual insights into their projects, as well as postgraduate students looking to apply newer approaches to conceptualising tourism or place marketing.\" -- Back cover.
Book
The Riviera, Exposed
A sweeping social and environmental history,
The Riviera, Exposed illuminates
the profound changes to the physical space that we know as the
quintessential European tourist destination. Stephen L.
Harp uncovers the behind-the-scenes impact of tourism following
World War II, both on the environment and on the people living and
working on the Riviera, particularly North African laborers, who
not only did much of the literal rebuilding of the Riviera but also
suffered in that process.
Outside of Paris, the Riviera has been the most visited region
in France, depending almost exclusively on tourism as its economic
lifeline. Until recently, we knew a great deal about the tourists
but much less about the social and environmental impacts of their
activities or about the life stories of the North African workers
upon whom the Riviera's prosperity rests. The technologies embedded
in roads, airports, hotels, water lines, sewers, beaches, and
marinas all required human intervention-and travelers were
encouraged to disregard this intervention. Harp's sharp analysis
explores the impacts of massive construction and public works
projects, revealing the invisible infrastructure of tourism, its
environmental effects, and the immigrants who built the
Riviera.
The Riviera, Exposed unearths a gritty history, one of
human labor and ecological degradation that forms the true
foundation of the glamorous Riviera of tourist mythology.

Mass tourism in a small world
\"The economic links arising from tourism that now exist between what used to be regarded as 'developed' and 'developing' societies make it imperative they are considered component parts of a global system rather than distinct entities. The central focus of this book is mass tourism across a range of societies. It focuses on the theoretical perspectives on mass tourism (including systems approaches, political economy, ethics, sustainability and environmentalism) the historical context of mass tourism and the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism. Including international case studies it is an essential resource for researchers and students within tourism studies\" -- Provided by publisher.

Toward Sustainability Tourism: An ARDL Analysis of the Differential Impacts of International Tourism and Air Transport on CO2 Emissions in Thailand
This study investigates the differential impacts of international tourism and air transport on CO2 emissions in Thailand by employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. Analyzing data from 1995 to 2020, the findings indicate a significant negative correlation between international tourism and CO2 emissions, suggesting that increased tourist arrivals can lead to enhanced environmental efficiency under specific conditions. Conversely, air passenger numbers demonstrate a direct positive relationship with CO2 emissions in the short term, pointing to the inherent greenhouse gas intensity associated with air travel. The high explanatory power of the ARDL model, with an adjusted R-squared of 0.971397, emphasizes the robustness of these results, although caution is advised in interpreting the P-values due to the potential biases from automated model selection processes. These insights contribute to the broader understanding of how tourism dynamics interact with environmental outcomes, particularly in countries like Thailand, which heavily rely on tourism for economic growth. The implications highlight the urgent need for policies that balance tourism development with sustainability mandates, ultimately guiding Thailand’s trajectory toward carbon neutrality and sustainable tourism practices.
