Combining ideas of sustainable development, product development and branding with notions from the fields of design, space shaping and architecture, this volume of Advances in Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research offers contemporary perspectives on the strategic development, evaluation and impact of 'atmospheric quality' in tourism and hospitality service situations.

Examples discussed include: participatory shaping of destination atmospheres urban atmospheres 'silent' airports atmosphere of religious buildingsresidents as elements of atmosphereemotional contagionbuilding culture and architecture eAtmospherics  light and colour effects in hospitality encounters the co-created atmosphere of concerts and events.

Incorporating theoretical perspectives on atmosphere in culture, inter-cultural communication and marketing and numerous practical examples to promote a deeper understanding of atmospheric qualities in sustainable tourism and hospitality, this book furthers academic knowledge and gives guidance to tourism and hospitality practitioners interested in improving the atmospheric quality of their offers for the benefit of their guests.
