O knihe

This book has great potential to appeal to a wide-ranging audience, including university libraries, academic researchers and popular readership. It will be particularly welcomed by those interested in tourism studies as there is precious little critical work on tourism workforces throughout the academic literature. The issues associated with workforces addressed in this book serve both to address a lacuna on the critical tourism studies side and growing concern on the practitioner side over workforce quality and supply. However, because this book deals with broader political economic processes that are shaping local places to induce demand for extra-local workers, it has a potential for interest well outside the traditional bounds of tourism studies. Key areas including but not limited to labor migration, guest workers, housing shortages, gentrification, and precarious work are all important contemporary subjects with wide appeal. While an academic audience is expected, the topic is of interest to several practitioner groups. These include stakeholders in local tourism-dependent areas dealing with seasonality, labor shortages, housing issues, town planners dealing with mitigating workforce housing shortages, and anyone with an interest in immigration reform. Finally, because the book ties together several areas of study outside of tourism-specific fields, it is possible to envision this book taught in a myriad of seminar courses across many disciplines.
