Tourism: A temporal analysis brings a fresh look to the study of tourism through examining many of the inter-relationships between tourism and time, exploring how temporality manifests in and impacts tourism. It takes us beyond the construct of ‘seasonality’ by reappraising temporal dimensions and their implications on tourism services, the consumer and the natural and physical environments. It draws on examples and case materials from around the world as well as assessing the temporal impact of the recent Coronavirus pandemic on tourism.
Divided into four parts, Tourism: A temporal analysis examines:
• The dimensions and relationships between time and tourism, establishing a framework for understanding temporality and tourism; causal reasons for seasonality in tourism, dimensions of climate, nature, cultural factors, nocturnality and a chronological historical overview to help us understand the dynamics of temporality and tourism.
• The operational dimensions of temporality: the challenges of temporal variations on tourism service revenue forecasting and pricing, business operational planning, managing labour and yield systems and an insight into supply-side factors such as lifestyle business.
• Strategic responses to temporal variation, including the role of temporal variation as a policy issue at business and destination levels, the strategic role of events in combatting temporality, dimensions of temporal marketing and strategic business planning.
• The End of Temporality?: explores the rise of 'year-round' tourism and de-temporalisation, its enablers and its resulting effects both positive (technology-driven future opportunities) and negative (overtourism) in the industry, the environments and the economy.
With contributions from international experts in their field, this text uses case studies and vignettes throughout to contextualise the theory and enabling readers to have a better understanding in order to critique and question the issues discussed.
