The concept of welfare is a somewhat neglected area within tourism studies, despite the continued growth of interest in key issues such as ethics, tourist safety, employee's well-being, human rights, ethnocentrism, cultural sensitivity and behavior codes, green consumerism, and the perceptions of management of "sustainability". This book provides an explanation, definition and a critique of welfare and a welfare approach covering these issues. Chapters cover the welfare of tourists, employees in the tourism industry, residents in tourism destinations, animals as tourist attractions and the natural environment.
"It provides a valuable outline of issues, current knowledge and an honest appraisal of the complexity of the issues."
- Annals of Tourism Research
"...Tourism and Welfare: Ethics, Responsibility and Sustained Well-Being is an inspiring addition to tourism studies. I recommend this book to industry practitioners, academics and graduate students in tourism, leisure and recreation."
