Advances in Hospitality and Tourism
Reviews “A much-needed global perspective of the experiences of women travelling from different countries, cultures, backgrounds, religions and life stages—one of the book’s most notable contributions. . . . This book provides various perspectives on women travellers and the role of independence, resistance, and empowerment in their experiences. . . . Women and Travel is useful for both academics and the travel industry. It includes practical ideas regarding wellness vacations, perceptions of safety, travel motivations, and online exchange networks. Throughout the book, authors provide ideas of future research questions and unexplored avenues and populations to examine. . . . [The book] helps the reader consider how far we have come as women travellers, as well as the work that remains to be agents of social change to help women who are ‘carrying their backpacks along with various socially constructed baggage.’” —Annals of Leisure Research, review by Sarah Taylor Agate, The College at Brockport, State University of New York, Brockport, NY, USA “This timely and engaging collection concerning women, gender and travel documents the growing diversity in experience, desires and industry practice. Simultaneously many chapters portray global/local sexism continuing to shape what women want as travelers and what they can actually have, in contrast to potential paths toward gender equality.” —Margaret Byrne Swain, University of California, Davis “Provides a multitude of insights and perspectives on women and travel (consumers) and as such acts as a balance for the numerous books on women in their role as workers (producers) in the tourism industry.” —Heather Gibson, PhD, Professor, Department of Tourism, Recreation & Sport Management, University of Florida “Catheryn Khoo-Lattimore and Erica Wilson have assembled an impressive gathering of established and emerging scholars in this collection focused on gendered discourses around resistance, independence, empowerment, and indi¬vidual agency in and through travel. It is a long overdue book and will be required reading for students and scholars interested in any aspect of women’s travel experiences. The individual chapters offer a series of richly researched, compelling and highly, readable narratives, and as a whole the book constitutes a hugely significant contribution to the field of tourism and gender research. —Nigel Morgan, Professor and Chair in Visitor Economy Management, School of Management, Swansea University Now Available in Paperback Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives is a fascinating look at the behavior, motivations, experiences, and needs of women as tourists and travellers, drawing on both historic and contemporary eras. Surprisingly little research has explored key issues, experiences, and opportunities in the context of women’s travel. This revealing volume fills this gap, exploring the discourses, debates, and discussions about women, travel, and tourism. With an international roster of contributors from diverse regions of the world, the book celebrates a variety of women’s voices. Khoo-Lattimore and Wilson deliberately sought to include nontraditional and non-Western perspectives on women’s travel, with inclusions of Asian solo female travelers; Islamic women travellers and the constraints placed on them; and women who cannot travel (or choose, for whatever reason, a ‘home holiday’). This enlightening volume brings together scholars from the broad areas of tourism, hospitality, geography, and leisure studies to examine how and why women travel. The chapters bring light to perspectives from different countries, cultures, backgrounds, and religions, and utilize different methods, approaches and styles of presentation. Features:

Her doctoral thesis (Griffith University) was an interpretive, qualitative exploration into the constraints faced by Australian solo women travelers. Erica also holds a postgraduate diploma in environmental studies (Adelaide University) and a first-class honours degree in tourism administration (James Cook University). Her scholarly publications and research interests focus on critical pedagogy and theory in tourism, gender and tourism, leisure constraints and negotiation, sustainable tourism in protected areas, and qualitative/ feminist methodologies. Erica currently sits on the Editorial Advisory Boards for Hospitality and Society, Journal of Tourism and Development, and the Annals of Leisure Research (where she was also Associate Editor and Book Reviews Editor from 2008-2015). Erica was a member of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Technical and Scientific and Advisory Committee from 2006-2015. She lives on a rural property in Northern New Wales, bordering a World-Heritage national park, with her partner and two children.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with.
