Creating Experience Value in Tourism

Research delivers a multitude of approaches to value creation, represented here as a set of definitions, perspectives, and interpretations of how tourists, as customers, create value alone and with others. Now updated to include new studies, the second edition of Creating Experience Value in Tourism provides a clarification of these approaches as well as a practical translation as to how they can work within industry.

Including a framework to distinguish among key resources or antecedents of customer value, this new edition:
- Introduces the concept of co-creation of value in the tourist experience, looking at the definitions, structures and models available;
- Provides new chapters addressing stakeholder perspective and concretion, the role of the experience setting in creating experience, the connection between co-creation and subjective well-being and global perspectives on value creation;
- Considers consumer behavior and factors affecting value creation from both physiological and psychological perspectives.

Concluding with a summary of the areas for future research, this is a key resource for researchers, particularly those interested in experience value and co-creation, as well as a useful read for students of tourism and related industries.
