Paperback. As North America continues to diversify in its population, inclusion is more important than ever. In this important book, the authors explore, document, and delve into the construct of diversity within the context of managing and providing recreation and leisure-related services. Using multiple perspectives and comprehensive research, the authors provide (1) an analysis and critique of the current state of knowledge about diversity issues within the PRTM fields (parks, recreation, and tourism management); (2) a forum for scholars and recreation professionals to share best practices and their own experiences in PRTM organisations related to diversity in scholarship and practice, including public, private, and non-profit agencies; and (3) opportunities to explore strategies for addressing diversity and strategies toward structural changes within organisations.Specifically, the authors illuminate how markers of diversity influence the issues and problems perceived and/or experienced by diverse groups; the nature and types of institutional barriers often unwittingly created by organisational professionals in their response, or lack thereof, to diverse populations; and transformational opportunities, both individual and organisational, that result through enhanced commitment to organisational diversity and inclusion.
