Abstract

Under the title ‘Consumer tribes in tourism: Contemporary perspectives on special interest tourism’ this book adopts a collective approach to special interest tourism consumption. It brings together research on ‘special interest tourism’, framed primarily as a demand concept, which is experiential in nature and driven by a special interest, and ‘niche tourism’, offering a supply perspective, with more recent research into the interdisciplinary applications of the sociological concept of ‘neo-tribes’.
