Control, Abuse, Bullying and Family Violence in Tourism Industries

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This is a deeply personal and haunting account of the effects of family violence in tourism. It provides much needed insights, taking a child-centric approach, into the underbelly of the tourism industry. A must read for any researcher trying to shatter the illusion of the benign nature of tourism and happy family holidays. * Heike Schaenzel, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand * This highly original study looks at the rarely examined impact of marital pathology on family tourist behaviour. The author vividly narrates how it felt on a daily basis to live under the same roof as a violent man, and the game-playing intimidation he put on her movements, particularly during holidays. * Tony Seaton, University of Luton, UK * This book outlines how bullying, control, abuse and family violence can impact the tourism system. This is especially important for tourism managers to have awareness of so that proper systems can be considered to support staff who might be facing any of these issues. * Alastair M. Morrison, University of Greenwich, UK *
