Family tourism: multidisciplinary perspectives

Family tourism: multidisciplinary perspectives Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change, 2013 Vol. 11, Nos. 1–2, 126–151 BOOK REVIEWS Family tourism: multidisciplinary perspectives, edited by Heike Schanzel, Ian Yeoman and Elisa Backer, Bristol, UK, Channel View Publications, 2012, 199pp., US$39.96 (paper- back), ISBN: 978-1-84541-362-2 The theme underlying the 199-page, 12-chapter text, published by Channel View Publi- cations in the UK, is the absence of literature and study. Yes, family is an underdeveloped and fragmented market, no framework. One must, indeed, suppose that there are truly no leading researchers though the conclusion of Chapter 1 indicates such. The study may be considered somewhat peripheral or not as interesting as core tourism issues, or do we see others on dark tourism, tourism and terrorism, sex tourism, and other topics perhaps per- ceived as more eye-catching to readers or in currently stranded media? Writer Nathaniel Benchley in 2001 seemed to be poking fun at what he titled ‘the two classes of travel – first-class, and with children’. The point may actually be the lack of defi- nition of family, and the somewhat wishful thought on the part of some that the modern family is statistically something crafted differently from its past though no hard evidence is presented. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change Taylor & Francis
