Summary This book reflects contemporary developments in the field. Building on the strengths of the first edition, the text discusses the significance of ecotourism in the domestic and international tourism sectors. The origins, markets, venues and impact of ecotourism form the basis of the first part of the book. Business aspects of ecotourism, external environments, organisations and policies are examined in the second part of the book, along with special environments, such as islands, polar regions and indigenous territories, and distinctive activities, such as whale-watching and penguin-watching. The management of ecotourism is covered comprehensively and is illustrated by extensive industry and destination examples derived mainly from the peer-reviewed literature. A highlight of the book is a regional survey of ecotourism that offers comparative insights into ecotourism in Australia, the South Pacific, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa.

Call Number 338.4791 HOL
Publication Date 2008
Summary "The second edition of Environment and Tourism reflects changes in the relationship between tourism, society and the natural environment in the first decade of the new century. Alongside the updating of all statistics, environmental policy initiatives, examples and case studies, new material has been added. This includes two new chapters: one on climate change and natural disasters; and the other on the relationship between tourism and poverty. These themes have direct relevance not only to tourism but are reflective of the wider relationship between nature and society, a thesis that contextualises the book. Tourism is also analysed as an interconnected system, linking the environments of where tourists come from, with the ones they go to. Further issues addressed in the book include tourism's interaction with nature; economic opportunities for conservation; market failure that causes tourism to create environmental problems; environmental management and planning for tourism; environmental ethics; sustainable tourism and ecotourism; poverty and tourism; climate change, natural disasters and tourism."--BOOK JACKET.

Front and back stage of tourism performance : imaginaries and bucket list venues / [edited by] Frances Julia Riemer.

by Riemer, Frances Julia, editor.
Call Number 338.4791 FRO
Publication Date 2020
Summary "Front and Back Stage of Tourism Performance situates our travel imaginaries, those dream destinations on our travel bucket lists, as co-constructed by the tourist industry, state development policies, and community negotiations, and as framed by modernity's new global cultural economy. As more people travel for pleasure than ever before, host communities and intermediaries are presented with tourism opportunities that all too often become flashpoints for local contestation and mechanisms for displacement. The ethnographically-grounded chapters describe tourist encounters shaped by geopolitics, complicated by war, and troubled by and enacted within the economic inequities of neocolonialism. The points of contact afford a unique vantage from which to view cultural identity, entrepreneurial strategizing, and natural resource management as global politics and relations of difference. They also illustrate the power of social networks, cultural display, and artistic performance as collective presentation, management apparatus, and structural critique. Drawing on a range of international case studies, this book will appeal to those interested in tourism, anthropology, global studies, environmental issues, microeconomics, and identity studies"--

Summary The job of the Catering Convention Services Manager (CCSM) is varied and diverse. The success or failure of an event can depend on the ability of the CCSM to juggle the components without dropping the ball. Chapters of this book scratch below the surface and impart authors' in-depth industry knowledge that will lead readers from the truth of what a CCSM does on a daily basis versus what the job description states, what emotional and technical skills are required, what employers look for in hiring CCSMs, how to relate to external and internal planners, and execution of catering and convention contracts. It gives an overview of job positions within hotels and facilities that CCSMs will work with necessary to fulfill the contracted legal requirements, providing thorough communication, detailed food and beverage industry information, banquet service styles, menu planning, trade statistics, BEO standards, how to deliver service expectations, and reveals a variety of indoor and outdoor event space setup standards. Included are suggested best practices of working with nonprofits, social, wedding, association, corporate, VIP, celebrity events, and tradeshows. Most chapters will have website links for more information on specific topics and explanations on how this industry operates within casino properties. The final chapters discuss revenue upsell opportunities for all stakeholders and industry accounting and the paperwork that pulls this fast-paced catering for convention service business all together.
