Visitor Management in Tourism Destinations 

Visitor management (VM) can be considered a component of destination management and involves a wide range of stakeholders. Within this unique text, key information is presented via foundation chapters, before moving in to critical concepts and influential factors. It then provides an illustration of the current issues faced by VM, while research-based case studies further contribute to overall understanding of the core issues. A final section on guiding and interpretation rounds the book off before a concluding chapter looks at future research directions. This book is written by leading international researchers and provides an authoritative overview of the current knowledge and insights into conceptual issues of VM.
