This volume collects recent research on the design, management, marketing, and evaluation of tourism services that provide valuable and memorable experiences to the customer. Twenty-five papers describe blueprint maps for sport events, the role of social media for enriching tourist participation, rural tourist experiences in Cyprus, and the benefits of culinary tourism marketing collaboration. Case studies demonstrate the creation of both peak and supporting experiences in Istanbul, a sustainable creative advantage assessment tool, and the creative tourism experiences being created by destination management organizations.
