Consumer Behavior in International Travel and Tourism
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: 15 September 2009
Advances in Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality Research (ACTHR) is a book series published by Emerald. ACTHR broadly seeks to increase understanding and description of human behavior, conscious and unconscious meaning, and implicit/explicit decision processes applied to living and making major and everyday choices from where to live, how culture affects thinking and actions; marriage, children; work choices and behavior; leisure pursuits; holiday destination; travel behavior; making tradeoffs among work, play, sleeping, and necessity behaviors; deciding, using, and evaluating short and long term accommodations; decisions and behaviors regarding assisted living and death. The objective of ACTHR is to promote synergies among culture, work, leisure, tourism, and hospitality scholars. ACTHR focuses on examining individuals and households lived experiences and their cultural and personal antecedents and consequences. Most papers appearing in ACTHR will offer advances both in theory and empirical evidence; empirical reports include using interpretive, positivistic, and mixed-methods research designs.
The third volume of ACTHR is to focus on Consumer Behavior in International Travel and Tourism. All papers need to have an international travel and tourism research focus. The co-editors seek both empirical positivistic research and interpretive research papers. Papers can come from a broad range of topics including (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Cross-culture understanding and examination of tourist behavior
- Paradigm shifts in tourist psychology research
- Tourist decision-making process and strategies
- Tourist information search and processing
