• Brand-new pedagogical features such as in-chapter class activities, key term definitions, and highlighted critical points

• New content on cross-sector consortia marketing for meetings and events, social media influencer marketing, the role of technology, resource consumption and climate change, creativity and innovation in developing destination branding, experiential destination marketing and the influence of culture and sustainability on destination marketing

• Links to free access of the author’s journal articles on destination marketing

It is written in an engaging style and applies theory to a range of tourism destinations at the consumer, business, national and international level by using topical examples.
