Social tourism is at a pivotal point. Over the past decade, there has been increased interest and research into social tourism issues, and as a result there is now much greater evidence on the important role that social tourism can play in providing significant benefits for the people supported through social tourism schemes. However, despite these advances and awareness of the benefits of tourism participation in most countries, there is still much confusion and ambiguity about the definition, role, and purpose of social tourism.This comprehensive volume reflects recent shifts in social tourism research by focusing on target groups and the benefits or constraints of these groups in holiday participation. The authors explore the diversity of issues, theories and social contexts that are relevant to social tourism research, offering a range of quantitative and qualitative methods and experimental designs as well as various policy and practice contexts to address policy issues. They also highlight opportunities for greater intensity of research on the importance of policy in advancing social tourism and to stress the fundamental role that social tourism can play in achieving strategic policy goals towards enhancing wellbeing, citizenship, and quality of life in the future.This book was originally published as ...

This book explores the roles that control, abuse, bullying and family violence can play within the tourism system. While it is generally understood that such behaviours are significant issues in society, the correlation between these types of behaviour and tourism has not been assessed in scholarly circles. The volume sets out to explain each of these behaviours within tourism industries using autoethnography as its method. This book reveals the heightened risk of family violence during family events, sporting events and in the tourism system, and explains that risks continue and can even increase after separating from a perpetrator of family violence. This is an important and under-researched area in the tourism and events literature and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in these fields, as well as family violence, social work, health and law.You can see the author''s blog post about her work here:Â https://channelviewpublications.wordpress.com/2023/03/22/the-dark-side-of-family-tourism/

Tourist travel has become part of the lifestyle of Western industrial society. For today’s travelers, recreation and curiosity, experiencing the world and gaining status have been the main motivations, whereas generating income or profit has been the focus of the more or less professional service providers who still style themselves ''hosts''. But the benefits of tourism also have their drawbacks – not least for the local residents who do not participate in tourism but are affected by traffic, high prices in restaurants and housing. Another loser is unprotected nature, the environment, as tourism infrastructure eats up the landscape. As with any industry, there are downsides to a business where the sun always seems to shine. This book examines the many contradictions, in hopes of promoting more conscious, responsible forms of tourism.

Evan S. Connell''s Mrs Bridge is an extraordinary tragicomic portrayal of suburban life and one of the classic American novels of the twentieth century.Mrs Bridge, an unremarkable and conservative housewife in Kansas City, has three children and a kindly lawyer husband. She spends her time shopping, going to bridge parties and bringing up her children to be pleasant, clean and have nice manners. And yet she finds modern life increasingly baffling, her children aren''t growing up into the people she expected, and sometimes she has the vague disquieting sensation that all is not well in her life. In a series of comic, telling vignettes, Evan S.

The daily dramas of his life only serve to illuminate his narrow prejudices and complacent outlook, yet he is also troubled by existential doubts, dark undercurrents of desire and a yearning for something forever out of his reach.

How can we understand gender in the contemporary world? What psychological differences now exist between women and men? How are masculinities and femininities made?
