The Tourist Experience

This series focuses on a notable gap in Tourism Studies literature that of the tourist experience.

Books in the series will move beyond a broader exploration of particular forms of tourism to examine specifically the tourist experience in a cohesive and thematically structured manner. The series will seek to build a comprehensive set of texts that collectively contribute to critical knowledge and understanding of the tourist experience today. The series features monographs and short books (20-50 000 words).Short books will comprise reviews of specific `types´ of tourist that focus primarily on the influences on and nature and significance of their experiences within a socio-cultural framework. The aim is for each book to provide a definitive yet critical overview of each tourist `type´ embracing contemporary empirical and conceptual perspectives and debates as a means of understanding their experiences.
