Beskrivning

Shopping Tourism, Retailing and Leisure provides a comprehensive examination of the relationships between tourism, leisure, shopping, and retailing. Critical issues are examined within the framework of the dichotomous relationship between utilitarian and hedonic forms of shopping, shopping as a primary and secondary attraction in tourist destinations, the development of various tourist-retail venues, the role of souvenirs in tourism, and management issues (e.g. merchandising, venue design, and customer service).

Recensioner i media

This is an exceptionally well-researched volume on a subject often dismissed by researchers and even marketers. It is a welcome addition to the literature on this important activity and should be of interest to a wide audience. Shopping Tourism, Retailing and Leisure is a short, well written book on a subject that is far more important than one might think. Dallen Timothy is to be congratulated for taking shopping out of the closet.
