Summary
Making Visitors Mindful sets out a series of principles to assist in communicating with visitors. These principles are applicable to a broad range of tourism and recreation settings and are based on a theory of how people deal with, learn, and use new information. This mindfulness/mindlessness model of human information processing has been tested and used in a range of business, educational, medical, and other social problems. Making Visitors Mindful offers: Principles and examples relevant and applicable to a broad range of tourism and recreation settings; directions for planning, design, and management of educational programs and other visitor communications services that are based on a large body of applied and relevant research evidence; and a theory which is easily assessable to managers and that can be used to generate ideas for communications with visitors in many different places.

Summary
"This timely book examines cross-cultural managerial communication competence and its application within the service industry. Focusing particularly on the hospitality and tourism industry, John Saee examines the cross-cultural implications of competence across all managerial functions: planning, workplace communication, recruitment/promotion, induction, training, supervision, industrial relations, management of change, customer service, financial management and marketing." "This is the first detailed study - at a national level - of current psychological and sociological theories of intercultural communication, linked to an investigation of the management of cultural diversity in the workplace within a multicultural society, a study which has global implications. This cutting-edge research advances new modalities of best practice on managerial competence which can be equally applied to all other industries around the world confronted with cultural diversity in the workplace."--BOOK JACKET.
