Series: Aspects of Tourism

Shopping Tourism, Retailing and Leisure provides a comprehensive examination of the relationships between tourism, leisure, shopping, and retailing. Critical issues are examined within the framework of the dichotomous relationship between utilitarian and hedonic forms of shopping, shopping as a primary and secondary attraction in tourist destinations, the development of various tourist-retail venues, the role of souvenirs in tourism, and management issues (e.g. merchandising, venue design, and customer service).

Reviews for Shopping Tourism, Retailing and Leisure

This is an exceptionally well-researched volume on a subject often dismissed by researchers and even marketers. It is a welcome addition to the literature on this important activity and should be of interest to a wide audience. Shopping Tourism, Retailing and Leisure is a short, well written book on a subject that is far more important than one might think. Dallen Timothy is to be congratulated for taking shopping out of the closet.Nancy E. Chesworth, Mount St. Vincent University in Annals of Tourism Research 33:1It is very helpful to have a well-informed text dedicated to this important dimension of tourism and the material is likely to be a useful starting point for subsequent studies.Joan C. Henderson, Nanyang Business School, Singapore in Tourism Recreation Research 31: 2, 2006Topical, comprehensive, original and a gold mine of references. This bookfills a major void in the tourism literature with Chapters that provide athoughtful analysis of tourist shopping as leisure, labour and recreation.The role of souvenirs, operation of venues and issues of management areexplored in depth. It is essential reading for anyone interested in thiscentral element of the tourism experience. .... Let me out of here and leadme to the bargains!Bruce Prideaux, James Cook University
