Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objectif de cet ouvrage consiste à réfléchir à la mise en place d'un cadre théorique susceptible de traiter cet objet complexe en envisageant à la fois son organisation et son évolution économique. L'auteur met en évidence les limites du concept de consommation et propose de rendre compte de la diversité des formes d'échanges dans l'espace touristique à l'aide de la notion de " pratique ". Il met alors l'accent sur le fait que les pratiques touristiques résultent d'une construction sociale et historique complexe entre différents acteurs mettant en jeu des demandes sociales, des demandes individuelles et une offre diversifiée de services.
Download or read book Sex Tourism in Africa written by Wanjohi Kibicho and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrated by in-depth empirical research from Kenya - one of the most popular country destinations in Africa for sex tourism - this book gathers much-needed statistics and data, and then critically examines the features of tourism and the sex trade, contextualizing this in relation to tourism development. It addresses the conditions which generate this 'social problem' and, while not taking a potentially problematic moralistic stance it questions whether this trade is exploitative in nature, particularly in cases of child sex tourism. It then critically evaluates the current policies in place to regulate the sex tourism industry and provides suggestions for future direction.

Download or read book The Tourist Places of the World written by Philippe Violier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formerly a largely Western practice, leisure travel is today the most dynamic industry in the world in terms of growth. Developments in transport and communication systems mean tourism is now an integral part of our understanding of the world, and involved in the exponential increase of links between societies and different cultures. The Tourist Places of the World has comprehensive data on the number of international visitors annually. It also includes an original map ? not dictated by country, but by major tourist areas and places. The hierarchy of destinations drawn is highlighted by the different levels of popularity and passenger flows; from the universal places where all societies meet to the still unfrequented places. Beyond the recognition of global tourism, the challenge is to understand how and why societies can achieve a better life through sustainable development, which encompasses social, economic and environmental dimensions.
Download or read book Progress in French Tourism Geographies written by Mathis Stock and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the recent progress in Francophone tourism geography. It focuses on the theoretical advances in social and cultural geography, whereby the symbolic dimensions of tourism and the creation of tourism worlds are key. It puts forward the tourist conceived as mobile, situated, skilled, reflexive inhabitant of places, which gives all its meaning to the expression “inhabiting touristic worlds”. More specifically, this book addresses numerous rarely addressed issues such as the geo-history of tourism, the material cultures of tourists, the digitality and disconnection from digital technologies in National Parcs or the use of knowledge of tourists in metropolises. It gives insights in the specific Francophone approaches such as inhabiting, the urbanity of tourist resorts and the notion of territory in tourist studies. Finally, it provides an overview of the urban dimensions of tourism, place-making in the form of heritage, oasis tourism, sports tourism, production of space in Mexican resorts. As such, the book provides a key read for academics, students and professionals in tourism studies and tourism geography in search for alternative approaches.

Download or read book Emotion in Motion written by Mike Robinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when tourists scream with fear, shout with anger and frustration, weep with joy and delight, or even faint in the face of revealed beauty? How can certain sites affect some tourists so deeply that they require hospitalisation and psychiatric treatment? What are the inner contours of tourist experience and how does it relate to specific emotional cultures? What are the consequences of the emotional cultures of tourists upon destinations? How are differences in emotional culture mobilized and played out in the transnational contact zones of international tourism? While many books have engaged with the structural frames of tourist practice and experience, this is the first to deal with the emotional dimensions of tourism, travel and contact and the ways in which they can transform tourists, destinations and travel cultures through emotional engagements. The book brings together an international array of scholars from anthropology, psychiatry, history, cultural geography and critical tourism studies to explore how the movement to, and through, the realms of exotic people, wild natures, subliminal art, spirit worlds, metropolitan cities and sexualised 'others' variably provoke emotions, peak experiences, travel syndromes and inner dialogues. The authors show how tourism challenges us to engage with concepts of self, other, time, nature, sex, the body and death. Through a set of ethnographic and historic cases, they demonstrate that such engagements usually have little to do with the actual destination but rather, are deeply anchored in personal memories, repressed fears and desires, and the collective imaginaries of our societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the level of globalization in business relationships rises, the importance of questions and problems pertaining to intercultural communication increases more and more. This gives rise to new tasks for the social sciences, which can only be successfully performed through interdisciplinary cooperation in the sense of area-studies. Between 1995 and 2002 for area, the Bavarian research network for area-studies, drew together numerous members of the scientific community who are specialized in the social sciences to pursue previously unresearched topics in areas of overlap of business and culture as exemplified in non-European regions. The most important results are collated here.

Book excerpt: Á l'heure de la mondialisation du tourisme, une réflexion géographique s'impose sur le rôle de ce phénomène capable de transformer partiellement ou totalement la donne pour les territoires qu'il investit. Face à l'inertie des rentes de situations, le tourisme peut apparaître, eu égard à l'histoire, comme un faiseur de centralité conférant de nouvelles qualités à des lieux qui en étaient plutôt dépourvus jusqu'alors. Aujourd'hui, le tourisme interpelle tous les territoires, les plus centraux comme les plus marginaux, qui voit en lui une panacée capable, par la venue des touristes, de renforcer leur rang ou de transformer une périphéricité en centralité, même temporaire. Pour comprendre cette dualité aujourd'hui inhérente aux périphéries, entre handicaps et spécificités, il est important de les contextualiser dans l'actualité touristique du Monde, entre anciennes et nouvelles destinations, diversification des pratiques et des produits, accès au tourisme des nouvelles puissances économiques, extension de l'écoumène touristique... Le présent ouvrage aborde l'ensemble de ces questions en proposant un nombre divers et varié de situations permettant de travailler la polysémie de la périphérie et en essayant de contribuer à conceptualiser, via le tourisme, la relation entre périphérie et centralisation/centralité.
