Overtourism explores a growing phenomenon in tourism that is currently creating tensions in both urban and rural tourist destinations worldwide. This volume proposes a framework for a series of possible solutions and management strategies for dealing with overtourism and the various negative impacts that large quantities of tourists can impose.Questioning the causes of this phenomenon – such as increased prosperity and mobility, technological development, issues of security and stigma for certain parts of the world, and so on – this book supposes that better visitor management strategies and distribution of tourists can offset the negative impacts of overtourism. Individual chapters focus on a range of destinations including Venice, Barcelona and Dubrovnik, as well as UNESCO cultural and natural heritage sites, where local political actors and public authorities are not always able to deal with the situation effectively.Integrating research and practice, this book will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in tourism, development studies, cultural studies and sustainability, as well as professionals in the field of tourism management.

This book examines the current use of digital media in religious engagement and how new media can influence and alter faith and spirituality. As technologies are introduced and improved, they continue to raise pressing questions about the impact, both positive and negative, that they have on the lives of those that use them. The book also deals with some of the more futuristic and speculative topics related to transhumanism and digitalization.Including an international group of contributors from a variety of disciplines, chapters address the intersection of religion and digital media from multiple perspectives. Divided into two sections, the chapters included in the first section of the book present case studies from five major religions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism and their engagement with digitalization. The second section of the volume explores the moral, ideological but also ontological implications of our increasingly digital lives.This book provides a uniquely comprehensive overview of the development of religion and spirituality in the digital age. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Digital Religion, Religion and Media, Religion and Sociology, as well as Religious Studies and New Media more generally, but also for every student interested in the future of religion and spirituality in a completely digitalized world.

Dr Pechlaner and Dr Innerhofer, the editors of Competence-Based Innovation in Hospitality and Tourism, argue that the industry operates within highly challenging and competitive environments. Changing environmental and market conditions continually force hotel businesses and service providers to offer their customers new and modified products and services, in order to remain competitive; those which respect value perceptions of markets and sustainable stakeholder reactions. This then raises the question of how innovations within this industry must be developed in order to achieve competitive differentiation.The book demonstrates that the development and analysis of successful innovation strategies should integrate the resource-based view and its advancements, the competence-based view, as well as the dynamic capabilities approach and the relational view. Resource-based strategic management approaches view the firm as a bundle of resources and competences. They point to the importance of firm-specific resources and competences in explaining variations in competitive positions and performance differentiation between companies. The challenge of hospitality and tourism is to develop resources and competences that drive innovations.This book will serve to advance the status quo of tourism research literature by combining innovation theories with network theories and tourism and destination development, by illustrating the development of cooperative competences and innovations in tourism and by showing, in a tailored way, how the challenge of the development of resources and competences that drive innovations in tourism can be managed.

Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.Since the end of the Cold War, globalization—the process and the idea—has been reshaping the world. Global studies scholarship has emerged to make sense of the transnational manifestations of globalization: economic, social, cultural, ideological, technological, environmental, and postcolonial. But a series of crises in the first two decades of the twenty-first century has put the neoliberal globalization system of the 1990s under severe strain. Are we witnessing a turn toward “deglobalization,” intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine or a moment of “reglobalization,” spearheaded by digital technology? The contributors to this book employ transdisciplinary research to assess past developments, the current state, and future trajectories of globalization in light of today’s dynamics of insecurity, volatility, and geopolitical tensions.

Destination Resilience
Challenges and Opportunities for Destination Management and Governance
Häftad, Engelska, 2022
635 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book calls for rethinking the meaning of sustainable development in tourism and explores how sustainability and resilience could be integrated. It argues that these concepts should be seen as interwoven processes, rather than alternative approaches. Resilience should be understood as a fundamental part of sustainable tourism thinking for destination systems. This can be achieved by calling for better governance in implementation and management. With insights from leading experts, chapters focus on resilient destinations from this governance perspective, in which tourism resilience is contextualized as an integral part of pathway creation in the process of moving towards sustainable tourism. The chapters represent a range of theoretical and empirical approaches with a wide international scope to demonstrate how governance is the key issue in sustainable tourism development. This book will appeal to a wide range of research disciplines and students whose modules focus on the relationship between tourism with respect to sustainability planning, governance, environment, and hazards and disasters.

Del 6 - Bridging Tourism Theory and Practice
Contemporary Destination Governance
A Case Study Approach

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
"Governance is about managing networks". This quote from political scientist Rod A.W. Rhodes pioneered a whole series of governance studies in different disciplines. Accordingly, destination governance describes the collective management of tourism destinations. Promoting collective action in tourism destinations means dealing with a myriad of different actors and applying various instruments. Probably the most basic requirement is to take into account the peculiarities of every single destination. Therefore, this book approaches the issue of contemporary destination governance from a case study point of view focusing on 16 destinations. In contrast to other publications in the field of destination governance, the book concentrates on the discussion of cases and the peculiarities of destinations which influence the destination governance. It demonstrates how different theories from the fields of organizational studies, strategic management, tourism research and sociology can enlighten our understanding of particular real-world situations. Last but not least the bottom-up approach supports practitioners and students by making otherwise complex theories accessible to a broader audience.

Embedded in and interrelated with its broader socio-economic and political context, the tourism system currently faces profound challenges. Against this backdrop, the book Tourism Policy-Making in the Context of Contested Wicked Problems offers a contemporary and interdisciplinary perspective on tourism public policy to aid the description, analysis, and explanation of these wicked and interconnected, complex policy problems. Current problem-solving capabilities and competences of governments to deal with specific tourism policy issues (or wicked problems) such as the climate emergency, tourism mobility, indigenous disadvantages, the COVID-19 pandemic, or the P2P economy are critically analysed and some interesting insights are offered into transition pathways towards tourism sustainability.The book is part of the Advances in Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research series which seeks to advance knowledge and sense-making skills in interpreting cultural, organizational, and personal influences relating to tourism and hospitality behaviours. This broad objective includes examining unconscious and conscious thinking processes of tourists, guests, and/or service providers in contexts that relate to tourism and hospitality.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.In a fast paced and increasingly digital world, a higher degree of sensitivity, humaneness and care in dealing with each other and in addressing feelings of isolation, alienation and fear is necessary. Within this context, the realm of tourism stands as no exception.This edited collection defines the new concept of Destination Conscience within the domain of tourism. It sheds light on the growing need for authenticity, meaning and a "human path" on the visitors’ side, and the ability to develop such sensitivity on the destinations’ side in creating meaning and responsibility. Whether through spirituality, religion, nature, history, or the subtleties of daily life, this novel paradigm fosters destinations' capacities to create meaning-driven experiences for their guests.In addition to outlining and defining the new concept of destination conscience, the inter-disciplinary approach and selected case studies and illustrative examples make Destination Conscience attractive to a variety of readers including researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students in the fields of tourism management, spiritual and religious tourism, social sustainability, human and urban geography.

Die Österreichische Wissenschaft kann mit Stolz auf eine ungewöhnliche und zugleich auch wirkungsvolle Persönlichkeit verweisen - auf Professor Hans H. Hinterhuber, zu dessen 65. Geburtstag ich Ihm herzlich gratuliere. Als Vorstand des Instituts für Unternehmensführung, Tourismus und Dienstleistungswirtschaft der Universität Innsbruck bemüht sich Professor Hans H. Hinterhuber seit Jahren um eine für das 21. Jahrhundert unbestreitbar notwendige neue Dimension des Wirtschaftens. Seine Vorstellungen eines zukunftsorientierten Managements zielen nicht nur auf den ökonomischen Erfolg eines Unternehmens, sondern berücksichtigen auch dessen ethische und ökologische Verantwortung sowie die Notwendigkeit der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz. Über Jahrhunderte hinweg haben Denker über das Verhältnis von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, Mensch und Arbeitswelt, Humanität und Gewinnstreben nachgedacht und geschrieben. Es ist nunmehr die große Aufgabe unserer Zeit, aus diesen Erkenntnissen heraus die Brücken zu den unter Erfolgszwang und Zeitdruck stehenden Unternehmen der Gegenwart zu schlagen. Professor Hans H. Hinterhuber ist ein Wissenschafter, den dieses Thema besonders beschäftigt. Ihm widmet sich nun auch diese eindrucksvolle Festschrift, mit der ich die besten Wünsche für sein weiteres, in der internationalen Fachwelt anerkanntes Schaffen verbinde. DR. THOMAS KLESTIL Bundespräsident von Österreich Geleitwort Zu seinem 65. Geburtstag gratuliere ich Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Hans H. Hinterhuber im Namen des Landes Tirol sehr herzlich! Professor Hans Hinterhuber hat es verstanden, sich in seiner beruflichen Lautbahn als einer der profiHertesten und national wie international renommiertesten Wirtschafts Wissenschafter einen erstklassigen Ruf zu erwerben. Weitüber die Grenzen unseres Landes hinaus erfährt er in Forschung und Lehre große Anerkennung und Wertschät zung.
