Tourism research frontiers : beyond the boundaries of knowledge / Donna Chambers, Tijana Rakic, [editors]

Includes bibliographical references.

Recognizes that while tourism research has undoubtedly penetrated and gone beyond a number of knowledge frontiers, frontiers are never static, but are constantly shifting and changing form in the context of a dynamic environment. This edition is a much needed contribution which acknowledges the imperative for a continuous innovation and renewal in tourism research if it is to remain relevant. Contains original papers which span a number of creative topics and debates and which transcend existing frontiers of tourism knowledge, including pop-culture tourism, gospel festivals as heterotopia, tourism and elections, articulations of the concept of tourismization and tourism of spiritual growth and critical explorations of the tourism image of Switzerland as represented in right wing visual rhetoric. Importantly, this original text also includes novel discussions of sustainability and destination evolution and network dynamics.
