Beskrivning

This book focuses on cultures that shape contemporary Asian tourist experiences. The book consists of 10 chapters, which are organised into two themes: Collectivist Culture and Wellbeing. The chapters cover emerging forms of tourism (e.g., wedding and bridal photography tourism, roots/affinity tourism and shamanic tourism), investigate a wide range of topics (e.g., tourist motivation, tourist anxiety and decision making) and consider Asian perspectives from diverse backgrounds (e.g., China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal). The book provides tourism researchers, students and practitioners a consolidated, comprehensive and updated reference for the understanding of Asian tourists.

Recensioner i media

“Asian Cultures and Contemporary Tourism is by far the most comprehensive collection of voices from the emerging group of Asian tourists. While it is titled Asian Cultures and Contemporary Tourism, most case studies are actually drawn from the perspective of tourists.” (H. Y. Lee, Tourism Geographies, January, 2019)
