Book excerpt: "Travel is no longer a past-time but a colossal industry, arguably one of the biggest in the world and second only to oil in importance for many poor countries. One out of 12 people in the world are employed by the tourism industry which contributes $6.5 trillion to the world's economy. To investigate the size and effect of this new industry, Elizabeth Becker traveled the globe. She speaks to the Minister of Tourism of Zambia who thinks licensing foreigners to kill wild animals is a good way to make money and then to a Zambian travel guide who takes her to see the rare endangered sable antelope. She travels to Venice where community groups are fighting to stop the tourism industry from pushing them out of their homes, to France where officials have made tourism their number one industry to save their cultural heritage; and on cruises speaking to waiters who earn $60 a month--then on to Miami to interview their CEO. Becker's sharp depiction reveals travel as a product; nations as stewards. Seeing the tourism industry from the inside out, the world offers a dizzying range of travel options but very few quiet getaways"--

Book excerpt: "Whether one encounters legal problems in Belgium, Ireland, Spain, England or Germany, this reference book will certainly become the touchstone of the tourism and travel industry. ? As a North American, I envy the practitioners of European travel and tourism law, who now have available this powerful tool to assist them in guiding representatives of the industry through the complex web of law which governs the ever expanding European travel industry." From the Foreword by Michael Lipton QC, Past-Chairman of the Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Law Committee (Committee Y), Section on Business Law, International Bar Association European Travel Law provides an in-depth and up-to-date guide to European tourism and travel law and the structure of the European travel industry. Each country chapter is written by a recognised local expert and examines the law affecting tourism and related consumer protection issues on two levels: first at the EC level, providing in particular an explanation of the implementation of the vitally important Package Travel Directive and secondly at the national level, with chapters detailing the domestic practice and provisions on tourism law throughout Europe. In addition to the country-by-country analysis, European Travel Law gathers together and examines in detail the increasing amount of European Community provisions on travel and tourism, including an examination of the only judgment to be heard to date on the Package Travel Directive (Dillenkofer), the relevant GATT provisions and the World Travel Organisation regulations and codes of conduct relating to tourism. "To the layperson, any book written by lawyers about the law, usually presents a daunting challenge, not only in reading, but also in comprehension. It was, therefore, a pleasant surprise to find European Travel Law to be very readable and more especially, very informative. The book gives clear, concise and comprehensible information and advice. It is not only regular travellers who would be wise to get their hands on a copy of this book, but anyone involved in, or connected with, the travel industry in Europe will need a copy." Clive Parish, Managing Director, Association of European Travel Agents (AETA)

Book excerpt: When overseas travel agency owners and directors, predominantly fromMiddle Eastern countries visitedmy Istanbul office and sawmy “Travel Management” book published in 2018 in Turkish, insisted that I publish the same book in English.

Travel and tourism industry is one of the world’s largest industries and a dynamic engine of economic development of the countries. It is a great source of income and employment for countries that receive more international tourists. For this reason, the countries have increased their investment in the travel and tourism industry, Tour operators and travel agencies have the major role for the development of tourism. Their business has vastly changed in the past 20 years. They have to continuously adapt and redefine their roles to the changing environment and technology. As a result of this change, different approaches in management, operation and marketing strategies in the travel industry have emerged. From tourism products and services to operation and destination management, from management functions to the distribution channels, from reservation systems to marketing functions, almost all travel concepts have changed shape. In travel agency business besides the traditional (classical) system used for many years, neoclassical systemandmodern (contemporary) systems such as online travel agencies (OTA’s) and destination management companies (DMC’s) have emerged, intermediaries diversified and increased. Pursuant to these developments travel operators who can keep up with these changes have created a wide academic and practical concept, theoretical discussions and most importantly different industrial structures. This book provides a wide perspective with modern concepts to the operation management and marketing strategies in travel industry and it is divided into 12 chapters. Each chapter starts with learning outcomes. Basic principles and concepts of subjects are mentioned both theoretically and practically supported by tables, graphs and figures for a better understanding of specific chapters.

Download or read book An Analysis of Consumer Issues and Fraud in the Travel and Tourism Industry written by L. Hall and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarizes results of research and analysis in the area of consumer problems, including fraud, in the travel industry, and identifies possible methods to mitigate those problems. The focus was on three areas of the industry: travel products and product providers including airline flights, hotels, recreational activities, and attractions; travel packages; and time-sharing or vacation sharing. An overview is presented of the nature of travel transactions, the regulatory environment, the size of travel-related problems, and the nature of the tourism industry in Canada. Problems are discussed at the pre-contractual, contractual, and post-contractual stages of the travel transaction and include telemarketing issues, the use of travel certificates, issues arising from technological advances, and issues covered under existing regulations such as misrepresentation, business failures, and licensing of agents. This is followed by a review of the federal and provincial laws governing the travel industry and of regulatory approaches used in other jurisdictions such as the United States and Britain. Finally, remediation of consumer problems and fraud is discussed, including co-ordinated law enforcement, inter- jurisdictional co-operation, self-regulation, and consumer education.

Download or read book Traveller Vulnerability in the Context of Travel and Tourism Contracts written by Maria Goretti Sanches Lima and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book highlights the link between consumers and travellers, identifying the meaning of vulnerability in Brazil and the EU. It also covers different types of contracts for tourism and travel services, including online booking processes. Only after 2015, as a result of the directive on package travel and linked travel arrangements, did the EU begin viewing travellers as consumers in the sense of Union Consumer Law; conversely, in Brazil, the traveller has no legal status whatsoever and is considered solely a consumer. As the traveller is implicitly a consumer he/she is subject to vulnerability. However, the definition of vulnerability differs considerably between Brazil and the EU: while in Brazil it is a principle stemming from the Consumer Defence Code, covering all consumers, in the EU vulnerability is not an established principle. In the EU, although the average consumer is assumed to be reasonably well informed, observant and circumspect, they are also recognised as the weaker party in the contract. That recognition does not fit with the notion of "confident consumer". Vulnerable consumers in the EU are those whose individual characteristics, such as their age, physical or mental infirmity, or credulity, make them particularly susceptible to unfair commercial practices. Conversely, in Brazil these consumers are seen as being hyper-vulnerable, rather than solely vulnerable. In this context, travellers are in a weaker position than regular consumers buying goods or services, because they are outside of their domicile or jurisdiction for a brief or extended period of time. This book examines two types of traveller vulnerability that make travellers, particularly international ones, a special type of consumers: 1. External and 2. Legal (jurisdiction). Travellers’ vulnerability mainly stems from consumers travelling to different markets and different cultures. As such, they are subject to different laws that require special global attention. While both the EU and Brazilian system have their respective advantages and disadvantages, the goal of both must be to further increase protection for travellers, including business travellers. In consumer societies, the traveller is indeed a consumer by logical causation and hence a “special consumer”.
Download or read book Issues in the Travel Agency Business written by U. S. House of Representatives and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel agents provide a service that most Americans take for granted. Unlike many other businesses, most Americans do not have daily contact with travel agents. We often forget that travel agents play a vital role in ensuring that Americans reach their intended destinations. They are a critical small business in many American communities. This Congressional hearing exams issues that are affecting the financial viability of the travel agency business. Technology has progressed to the point where many consumers are no longer using travel agents to purchase tickets or plan their holidays; rather they are using the Internet to investigate fares, see pictures of resorts and make reservations. New companies such as OneTravel.com and Orbitz were formed to take advantage of this new technology. This new technology even has affected how the federal government contracts for the provision of travel agency services. If there are cheaper and better ways for businesses to provide services than through travel agents, then the market has spoken. Travel agents will have to adapt to the changing economy just as many other small businesses have in the information age.

Download or read book Yellow Tourism written by Alexis Papathanassis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest research and novel case studies on crime and corruption in the tourism and hospitality industry. It approaches tourism as both a globalised business impacting the livelihood of millions of people, and a highly challenging field of action for national legislators and law enforcement agencies. The global nature and ubiquity of tourism, as well as the core elements of the holiday experience - such as interactions with unknown environments and places, a care-free mind-set, novelty-seeking behaviour and anonymity - render it highly susceptible to victimisation, crime and corruption. Accordingly, the book addresses a comprehensive set of emerging issues, including: conflict and fraud during holidays; criminal and negligence offences at tourists’ expense; exploitation and mistreatment of service workers; deterioration of heritage, cultural and natural resources; and securitisation of tourism.
