About the Book

Carefully examining the challenges of meeting fast-developing consumer demands and preferences, this enlightening Handbook captures the difficulties involved in providing optimal service experiences. It provides invaluable theoretical guidance while emphasising the evolutionary nature of experience science. With contributions from a diverse range of top international researchers, the Handbook of Experience Science explores fully up-to-date theories within experience studies as applied to tourism, hospitality and leisure. Chapters analyse the progress of recent research ventures, exploring fascinating case studies to further illustrate important concepts such as virtual tourism and slow tourism. Both the important frameworks behind experience science and real-world applications are discussed, providing the reader with a full picture of this rapidly changing subject. This Handbook provides crucial new examinations of experience creation which will be perfect for students researching tourism, hospitality and leisure, international business and innovation. It will additionally be incredibly useful for consumer researchers looking to better understand the complex paradigm behind experience creation.

Review :
‘The ability to provide an enjoyable visitor experience is a fundamental requirement for successful tourism businesses and destinations. This must read handbook encapsulates the latest research in this area and provides readers with valuable insights to the many aspects of the visitor experience that tourism firms and destinations need to provide. The book covers experience theory construction, factors shaping experience creation, and global case studies.’ ‘Finally, a book about experience science for academics and practitioners. This is a book for students and researchers wishing to understand experience theory, its roots, current status and future research directions. The evidence-based case studies at the end illustrate how experiences in the THL industries are formed, guiding practitioners in how to design experiencescapes for value and well-being. This book made me happy.’
