Tourism and Social Marketing

This is the first book to comprehensively consider the relevance of social marketing principles and practice to tourism, destination management and marketing. It provides insights into how the behaviours of visitors and businesses may be changed so as to develop more sustainable forms of tourism and improve the quality of life of destination communities. It further contributes to the development of tourism related forms of sustainable consumption and promotion of ethical tourism and marketing. The book considers a variety of social marketing sub fields relevant to tourism and integrates international cases studies to help tourism students see theory in practice.
