Presents answers to the following questions: how do tourists go about seeking high novelty and yet return to the same destination? How do some firms in the same industry end up embracing industrial tourism while other firms reject such business models? How do executive leadership styles affect employee satisfaction in international tourist hotels?

The book addresses topics such as tourism education and its development in the latter part of the twentieth century, taking “tourism” to be a broader field than “hospitality.”

The chapters in this volume provide tools and evidence useful for deep understanding of tourists’ buying, consumption, and being through examinations of consumers’ self-descriptions of personal markers of their trip configurations.

This international field guide provides methods and studies on how-to-do case study research in natural settings. This text is ideal for those studying and conducting case study research in tourism, hospitality and leisure disciplines. It provides a comprehensive and practical account of how to describe, explain and predict case behavior.

The volume examines unconscious and conscious cognitions occurring before, during and following virtual and actual leisure-related planned and unplanned travel. It includes a global review of the literature on tourists' perceptions and assessments by Woodside and Metin.

The main focus of the series is to divulge the innovative methods of inquiry so as to inspire new research topics that are vital and have been in large neglected.
