Rezensionen

"Children are seldom identified as stakeholders in tourism development and marketing. It is refreshing to see the authors of this book take up this topic and to provide such comprehensive coverage of how to better involve younger people in community tourism. This text provides invaluable information on how children perceive tourism, how they are involved in tourism, and how they can contribute to more meaningful tourism in destinations. The authors are to be highly commended in preparing such an innovative and insightful book on children and tourism. This is a must-read for all seriously interested in community tourism development, including practitioners and students."

Alastair M. Morrison, Research Professor, School of Management and Marketing, Greenwich Business School, UK

"This volume provides a much-needed child-inclusive human rights approach to communities dealing with tourism. In an era of overtourism and climate catastrophes, the voices of future generations matter more than ever. This is essential reading for any researchers and destination managers willing to understand how tourism impacts children and how their young powers can be harnessed for a more sustainable future."
