商品描述

This volume examines progress in sustainable and resilient development of niche forms of tourism from a health and wellbeing perspective. It also aims to offer deep and innovative insights on the supporting role of non-pharmaceutical interventions to enhance resilience and wellbeing of visited and visiting communities. A comparative and critical discourse of the role of hard medicine is also offered, from both a core and supplementary perspective, particularly, from eudaimonic and physiologically restorative standpoints. Furthermore, indigenous non-pharmaceutical interventions and spiritual healing mechanisms are discussed in the context of their potential to facilitate long term immunity and happiness.

The book conceptually situates health as a fourth pillar of sustainability, and examines its role in stimulating long-lasting transformations rooted in positive psychology, inner transformation and sustainable consumption of organic productsand services. It designs an evolving transformational 'Quality of Life' paradigm that strengthens the foundations of health/wellbeing-based sustainable development initiatives and resilience of tourism systems. The work will be of interest to academic, professional, and various public and private stakeholders of tourism such as destination marketing organizations, policy makers, hospitality industries, tour operators, host communities, NGOs, and government agencies.

本書探討了從健康與福祉的角度,利基型旅遊的可持續與韌性發展的進展。它還旨在提供對非藥物干預在增強訪問社區和訪客社區的韌性與福祉方面的支持角色的深入和創新見解。書中也提供了對硬性醫療角色的比較與批判性論述,從核心和補充的角度,特別是從幸福感和生理恢復的立場出發。此外,還討論了原住民非藥物干預和靈性療癒機制在促進長期免疫力和幸福感方面的潛力。

本書概念上將健康視為可持續發展的第四根支柱,並探討其在促進根植於正向心理學、內在轉變和有機產品及服務的可持續消費的持久轉型中的角色。它設計了一個不斷演變的轉型「生活品質」範式,強化以健康/福祉為基礎的可持續發展倡議和旅遊系統的韌性。這項工作將吸引學術界、專業人士以及各種公共和私人旅遊利益相關者,如目的地行銷組織、政策制定者、接待業、旅遊業者、接待社區、非政府組織和政府機構的關注。
