Yellow Tourism : Crime and Corruption in the Holiday Sector Hardback
Edited by Alexis Papathanassis, Stavros Katsios, Nicoleta Ramona Dinu
Part of the Tourism, Hospitality & Event Management series
Hardback
Description
This book presents the latest research and novel case studies on crime and corruption in the tourism and hospitality industry.
It approaches tourism as both a globalised business impacting the livelihood of millions of people, and a highly challenging field of action for national legislators and law enforcement agencies.
The global nature and ubiquity of tourism, as well as the core elements of the holiday experience - such as interactions with unknown environments and places, a care-free mind-set, novelty-seeking behaviour and anonymity - render it highly susceptible to victimisation, crime and corruption.
Accordingly, the book addresses a comprehensive set of emerging issues, including: conflict and fraud during holidays; criminal and negligence offences at tourists’ expense; exploitation and mistreatment of service workers; deterioration of heritage, cultural and natural resources; and securitisation of tourism.
