Appealing to skiers, snowboarders, industry workers, winter tourism companies and academics, this book is a concise compendium for the ski industry. In other words, a one-stop need-to-know resource for winter sport tourism.
Beginning with the evolution of winter sports, it covers contemporary products, activities, resorts and supporting industries. With sections on the consumer, customer service, marketing, management, leveraging events, design and planning, it is a fount of up-to-date information. It explores the economic, social and environmental impacts of winter sport tourism, culminating in the latest consumer trends and future forecasts.
Each chapter is built around three fascinating, interview-based case studies which highlight entrepreneurial personalities within the industry.
The writers of Winter Sport Tourism: Working in Winter Wonderlands are ski journalist, Louise Hudson and tourism researcher and professor, Dr Simon Hudson. As lifelong ski bums, we have dedicated their minds, bodies and souls to skiing, basing all our career and personal decisions on optimizing our skiing and ski writing.
