Recently,
João Filipe Marques, Ana Rita Cruz, and Teresa Rodrigues, researchers
at CinTurs, launched the book Introduction to the Sociology of Leisure
and Tourism, published by Edições Sílabo.
Written
in clear and accessible language without compromising on rigour,
Introduction to the Sociology of Leisure and Tourism is an interesting
read that takes the reader on a journey through the main stages,
concepts and paradigms of sociological research on leisure and tourism.
This work is aimed at higher education students of the social sciences,
such as sociology, anthropology, geography and tourism. It is also
relevant for tourism professionals and anyone with a personal or
professional interest in understanding the social, cultural and urban
impacts of leisure and tourism in contemporary society.
This
book is especially relevant and necessary at a time when tourism is
simultaneously seen as a driver of economic development, a source of
tension, and an object of social criticism. This text is essential for
critically thinking about the challenges and opportunities that leisure
and tourism pose to society. Read more.
