China has witnessed a dramatic development of tourism in urban context in the past thirty years, especially with its success in hosting the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 and the Shanghai World Exposition in 2010. Urban areas as tourism destination are receiving increasingly more popularity than traditional destinations such as national parks, natural reserves, and historical relics.Deriving largely from a special issue on "Urban Tourism Development and City Destination Marketing" (Journal of China Tourism Research), Urban Tourism in China presents the readers with a collection of nine independent research reports examining issues such as consumer behaviour in urban destinations, the social impact of tourism, destination image, leisure, regional collaboration, and heritage tourism in ancient towns. The investigations covered urban areas of different scales and diversified nature from major metropolises such as Beijing, and Guangzhou, to ancient towns like Lijiang and Pingyao. Readers who have interests of tourism research, business development, and in-depth understanding of urban life in China may find the book informative and interesting.This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of China Tourism Research.

In recent decades, interest in implementing collaborative writing—having two or more writers work on a joint composition—has been propelled by rapid developments in social software and moves toward online teaching. Mimi Li and Neomy Storch have drawn from their extensive research and teaching expertise on collaborative writing to re-evaluate the pedagogical practices of collaborative writing and inform readers about how diverse ways of implementing collaborative writing (across modes, genres, tasks, learning contexts) can facilitate multilingual students’ language learning and writing development in the digital age. With clear visuals and concrete examples of different types of collaborative writing tasks—including multimodal writing and collaborative reading for writing tasks—the book invites readers to consider the kind of decisions that need to be taken when implementing collaborative writing (e.g., group size, how to allocate students) and when assessing collaborative writing. In connecting frontier pedagogical knowledge to practice, Implementing Collaborative Writing Tasks in Multilingual Classrooms will help educators to implement collaborative writing activities in their various contexts. Throughout the book, readers will find:Research-informed, pedagogy-oriented lessons on why and how to implement and assess collaborative writing in multilingual classrooms. Cutting-edge pedagogical knowledge that distinguishes the different modes of implementing collaborative writing (e.g., face-to-face, via computer-mediated communication, and a hybrid approach). Key practical suggestions for teachers. Tips on how to incorporate artificial intelligence in collaborative writing activities. Recommendations for further research that can be helpful for practitioners, teacher educators, or graduate students.

This engaging book presents nine empirical chapters that explore topics such as lifestyle entrepreneurship, lifestyle mobility, luxury experiences, and tourism-related well-being. Unlike most research focusing on Western contexts, several of the studies involve Asian regions (particularly China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan) and capture the growing popularity of Asian perspectives. This edited volume, authored by researchers across China, New Zealand, the US, the UK, and Portugal, provides researchers and practitioners in tourism and hospitality, along with readers interested in the general "travel and lifestyle" domain, timely and relevant knowledge. The editors hope that these carefully chosen chapters will inspire future studies and will give its readers a fresh insight in lifestyle’s role in tourism.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing.

This edited volume explores various issues in family tourism studies and complements the dramatic development of this market segment in China. The book concentrates on family and children tourism, and through its chapters, hopes to enrich the landscape of family tourism in academia.The family market in tourism has received increasing attention over past decades. Yet academic endeavors in this area remain somewhat lacking in depth and scope. In addition to imbalanced contributions from authors of diverse backgrounds, the extant literature suffers from insufficient inclusion of children. Relevant studies are largely limited to conventional tourism destinations such as beaches and cultural attractions. In response to growing academic interest in family tourism, this book is a compilation of eight chapters that attempt to push the scope and boundaries of existing research on family tourism.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of China Tourism Research.
