This book fills an important gap in the literature with the relationship between shopping, retail and tourism undervalued and misunderstood. The many excellent contributions from experienced and well-respected scholars from around the world make this a highly readable, timely and contemporary contribution with insightful directions for future research provided.
Alan Fyall, University of Central Florida, USA
This timely volume captures the essence of shopping from consumer and intercultural perspectives and thus fills an important gap in the literature. Through the lens of luxury, loyalty, heritage, regeneration, and other fascinating themes, we gain a more nuanced understanding of ‘who we are’ as a function of culture and consumerism. The broad terrain of topics included will appeal not only to tourism scholars and students but also those in cultural studies, geography, urban studies, marketing, and economics.
David A. Fennell, Brock University, Canada
<p>Timothy has compiled an extremely timely collection at the nexus of shopping, retail, and tourism—widely critical yet underresearched aspects of the industry [...] The coupling of descriptive text with visual figures allows readers to feel like they are part of the case studies conveyed by the contributors. Additionally, the editor's introductory and concluding chapters are fantastic. Libraries with collections focusing on tourism, services marketing, retail, and geography should have a copy of this text.</p>

In the contemporary world of guaranteed change, shopping remains a constant in the tourism experience, even though its forms, measures, functions and manifestations are continuously evolving. This book offers traditional perspectives on shopping and tourism and updates current thinking in relation to experiences, and internal and external forces that affect retail change and shopping behaviour. It also examines how technology and changes in travel create new retail spaces, virtual spaces and retailscapes in tourism contexts. The volume provides a global perspective, with empirical examples being utilised from many parts of the world in a series of conceptually driven chapters on current issues, opportunities, challenges and paradigms in the relationship between shopping and tourism.
