Review of the first edition:
"Beware! This is not a marketing text book – it is something much more useful and much more thought provoking."
"If you add only one new book to your reading lists this year you should make sure that it is this one. Then you must be prepared to go on the journey, which this critical approach will take you and your students."

Journal of Hospitality & Society, Volume 3 Number 1

Review of the second edition:
"After reading the book, it is clear that it is an important contribution to the body of work in the area of THEF marketing. It focuses on marketing issues with a valuable critical approach. This is a kind of book should be not only on the shelves of libraries and those studying in the area of THEF
marketing, but also postgraduate students."
Annals of Tourism Research 67 (2017) 83–90

  • A guide to experience marketing within the Tourism, Hospitality, Events and Food (THEF) industries;
  • Looks at the specific nature of marketing within these industries using international examples and theories to evaluate the ways in which experiences;
  • Fully supported with a route map to guide the reader through the book;
  • Contains end of chapter review questions and case studies to consolidate learning.

Targeted at second year undergraduate students through to master's level post-graduate, Marketing in Tourism, Events and Food 2nd edition takes the reader through a logical examination of key marketing debates, theories and approaches and encourages them to explore their own thoughts, ideas and opinions. It analyses areas such as marketplace value and value creation, consumers and consumption, taste and identity, sustainability and power, as well as semiotics and commercial myth making, and offers a contemporary examination of these industry sectors with experiential aspects of marketing and productive consumption playing an important role throughout.

  • Marketing Perspectives and Value Creation
  • Consumers and Consumption of THEF; Making sense of your marketing audience
  • Semiotics and Meaning in THEF Marketing
  • THEF Experiences
  • Taste, taste makers and THEF Marketing
