Описание: Similarly to the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11 of 2001, a foundational event that marked the turn of the century, the recent virus outbreak in Wuhan, China resonates heavily in the social imaginary of West. Both events have differences and of course commonalities. 9/11 epitomizes the struggle of Western civilization against an invisible enemy, terrorism, while now the target is a virus. Both emulate the doctrine of living with the enemy inside. Another commonality rests on the fact the same transport means that facilitate the state of emergency are paradoxically and at the same time mainly victims. Based on the invitation of well-renowned experts coming from four continents, the present book discusses critically the effects of COVID-19 as well as the global pandemic in society. To some extent, experts and colleagues of all pundits energetically emphasize the economic crisis of COVID-19 overlooking the durable effects in the societal background. This book intends to fill the gap giving a fresh insight which explains the role of social distancing and the lockdown in a new emerging society. Although chapters can be read separately, they are finely grounded into a common argumentation, as the pandemic affirms not only the geopolitical tensions of what Scambler dubbed as a fractured society but also starts a feudalization process where the Spectacle of Death prevails.

Описание: The event industry is a robust economic force worldwide. It spans into many other important sectors like travel, tourism, hospitality, technology, media and communication, inter alia. In America, it is estimated that 18 million events are organised yearly, generating approximately $280 billion in spending and $66.8 billion in labour income (Event Industry Outlook 2016). Events showcase talent and are perhaps those moments when societies and communities group together to revive certain traditions and cultures, which are otherwise dormant. In other contexts, like the case of tourism, events create economic value for the hosting destination, which boosts the economy. In contrast to permanent attractions, an event has the potential to promote authenticity and hence, is increasingly tapped by marketers for the purpose of differentiation. For instance, destinations celebrate their unique culture and heritage through events which represent important milestones in their tourism history. Given their capacity to attract visitors and generate profit, tourism destinations are increasingly capitalising on events as a diversification strategy. This trend has undoubtedly precipitated popularity in event studies and hence the writing of this book. The landscape of the book covers a broad spectrum of research. The chapters explore the changing dimensions in the industry based on the following themes: - Event Management Trends and Policies - Events and Destination Image and Preference - Events and Education - Events, Attendees and Organisers In the present book, an attempt is made to cover a wide range of events (sport, cultural, festivals and weddings) and issues related to the organisation and management of these events (policies, terrorism, etc.). The chapters also provide solutions and strategies for the organisation of successful events (protocol, etc.). The book also offers an opportunity to understand attendees from a consumer behaviour point of view. More importantly, some chapters cover events from an education point of view by examining the question from both a Higher Education perspective (universities) and an event organiser angle (what is done to make people aware of sustainability). The editors have invited academics from Africa (Kenya, Algeria), South America (Argentina), Europe (England, Italy and Greece), and the Middle East (Abu Dhabi) to contribute thirteen chapters in the fields of their expertise. With its perfect combination of theoretical and practical issues, this book aims to share with readers the knowledge needed to professionally manage events in different fields. The latest trends including the key theories, concepts and case studies related to event management are presented in a manner that intellectually stimulates readers to get ready for an experiential learning journey. This book will enable readers to understand the impact of events on destination management organisations, explain the role of events in promoting international sport competitions, and understand the key issues in planning and designing collaborative partnerships in event management. Each chapter features a real-life case study to highlight key concepts and replace theoretical concepts with practical solutions to effectively approach the organisation of events, as well as preparing readers to tackle any challenges they might face in their future opportunities to manage events.
Tracing Spikes in Fear and Narcissism in Western Democracies Since 9/11 discusses critically not only the modern obsession with consuming news related to disasters or terrorism as a primary form of entertainment, but also explores the theory of pleasure as it was formulated by the ancient Greeks and continued by Sigmund Freud. Beyond the principle of pleasure was the touchstone of the sense of scarcity, which was rooted in the logic of capitalism. Throughout the 1970s, the society of producers brought about the advent of a society of consumerists; however, after the attacks on the World Trade Center September 11, 2001, things radically changed. The idea of terror, which had been encapsulated within the society of producers, was expanded to become the centerpiece of a new stage of capitalism, Thana-Capitalism, which made the death of others the main commodity for exchange and consumption.

Описание: In the light of a new millennium, the tourism industry has faced some (major) global risks which seriously affected its functioning, leading it to the brink of collapse. What is most important, after September of 2001, is that tourism security and safety not only captivated the attention of scholars but is also situated as a leading object of study within the fields of tourism research. The scourge of terrorism associated with the ecological crisis, recent natural disasters without mentioning virus outbreaks as Ebola, SARS or even COVID-19, and political instability place the tourism industry in jeopardy. It is safe to say that the ontological security of tourists occupied a central position in tourism research. Of course, the recent COVID-19 outbreak accelerated a socio-economic crisis in the service sub-sectors that paralysed the global trade and the tourism industry. The imposition of severe lockdowns, social distancing as well as the borders and airspace closure speak us of a new normal or a feudalised world where tourists are feared or even demonised. In the days just after COVID-19, academia should debate the new guidelines of future research not only to enhance tourism security but to put the industry back on its feet again. The present book project is a selection of high-quality chapters, which are authored by well-renowned experts in tourism safety and security; all of them were invited to bring some reflections on the future of the discipline in a post-COVID-19 context. Authors come from different disciplines, cultures and nations, so the book offers a fertile ground towards an international platform for professionals, researchers, students or policymakers interested in the future of tourism.
Описание: Tourism Through Troubled Times is an illuminating read for all scholars of Tourism Studies, Hospitality Management, and the Sociology of Tourism, as well as practitioners and managers within the hospitality sector, and gives clear insights into the industry`s next steps forward.

Описание:
The tourism industry is dynamic, constantly changing, and is particularly sensitive to shocks and external factors that are beyond the control of managers. Terrorism and natural disasters are just two of the current risk factors for western-based tourists seeking increasingly ‘exotic’ locations. What can individuals do to mitigate these risks? What are the responsibilities of tour operators to manage these risks? And what is the global impact on the tourism industry?
This collection of chapters from international scholars answer these questions using a wide range of interdisciplinary methods. They shed new light on emerging issues around sustainability, ecology and dark tourism. The concluding chapter speculates what the future holds for the industry as a whole, after years of disruption and potentially increased risks from climate change and political upheaval in different regions.
The series features monographs and edited collections to create a critical platform which not only explores the dichotomies of tourism from the theory of mobilities, but also provides an insightful guide for policy makers, specialists and social scientists interested in the future of tourism in a society where uncertainness, anxiety and fear prevail.
