Academics working in this area research issues related to tourists and
host communities. Practitioners are becoming increasingly interested in
understanding the science that allows them to develop better marketing and
managerial programs designed to enhance the quality of life of tourists.
Tourism bureaus and government agencies are increasingly interested in
issues of sustainable tourism, specifically in understanding and measuring
the impact of tourism on the quality of life of the residents of
the host communities. This handbook covers all relevant topics and is
divided into two parts: research relating to travelers/tourists, and
research relating to the residents of host communities. It is the

invaluable to academics interested in QOL research, as well as tourism
practitioners interested in applying the science of QOL in the tourism
industry.
