Philosophies of Hospitality and Tourism

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This book provides a thoughtful reflection on the domain of receiving and giving behaviours in hospitality and tourism, with ethical implications for the tourism industry. The various chapters, though eclectic, cover a variety of topical issues, adopting at times a positive psychology or tourist misbehaviour lens. This book is a valuable resource for tourism and hospitality researchers and practitioners. * Girish Prayag, University of Canterbury, New Zealand * This book offers a refreshing look at tourism and hospitality, bringing in philosophical terms and insights to inform a wide range of activities and experiences during leisure travel. The area of philosophy and tourism can cover many different subject areas and here the author offers a rich perspective on giving and receiving in tourism, aided by case studies, quotes and illustrations. * Tazim Jamal, Texas A&M University, USA * Christou eloquently escorts the reader through the hallways of philosophy to illuminate the processes of giving and receiving in a thought-provoking way through concepts from Ancient Greece that remain relevant today. -- Balvinder Kaur Kler, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia * Tourism Geographies, 2021 *
