Description: "Quality Tourism Experiences draws together writers from different backgrounds, interdisciplinary interests and research methodologies, and as a consequence, the book provides a model of the way researchers can work together to illuminate an area and to provide multiple representations and interpretations of that area. Moreover the book demonstrates interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and intradisciplinary approaches and collaborations. The authors investigate the role of the mass media, the role of travel providers, the role of host communities, the role of tourists, and the role of government at all its levels." "Quality Tourism Experiences acknowledges and investigates the multiple meanings of quality tourism experiences, the diverse contexts in which tourism occurs, and the varied stakeholders associated directly or indirectly with the phenomenon of tourism."--Jacket.
