The chapters cover emerging forms of tourism (e.g., wedding and bridal photography tourism, roots/affinity tourism and shamanic tourism), investigate a wide range of topics (e.g., tourist motivation, tourist anxiety and decision making) and consider Asian perspectives from diverse backgrounds (e.g., China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal).

Pressezitat
"Asian Cultures and Contemporary Tourism is by far the most comprehensive collection of voices from the emerging group of Asian tourists. While it is titled Asian Cultures and Contemporary Tourism, most case studies are actually drawn from the perspective of tourists." (H. Y. Lee, Tourism Geographies, January, 2019)
