This volume presents twenty updated and new theories oftravelers’ decisions and behaviors. It describes the advances in theoryconstruction and practical applications of theory in the disciplines oftourism, hospitality, leisure, and entertainment (THLE) research. The chapters allbuild on the grand models appearing in these four literature streams during1965-2015.This approach is comprehensive in both coverage and depthwith regard to constructing, testing, and applying theories of travelers’decisions and behaviors, which includes original work in updating grandtheories and micro (algorithm-conscious and non-conscious based) theories oftravelers’ decisions and behavior. This volume is the first to fully recognizeand construct theories across the THLE discipline.This volume describes the synergies, symbioses, andserendipity occurring in THLE behavior. It tears down researchers' parochialfences of what is and is not tourism, hospitality, leisure, and entertainment.The time has arrived tor tourism to embrace hospitality, hospitality to embracetourism, and all to embrace leisure and entertainment, and this volume servesas a catalyst to accomplish this embrace.

Researchers examine how cultures and behavior of tourists influence decisions by tourism companies and by local and national governments, at the same time that steps by companies and governments are influencing the actions of tourists. The studies reflect the shift in tourism research from studying relationships to studying outcomes using statistical methods. The topics include antecedents to the performance of mountain ropeway companies: empirical evidence for Switzerland, willingness-to-pay versus actual behavior: sustainable procurement at festivals, territorial planning as a creative tool for the upgrading of cultural tourism, and sustainable tourism development and Thai cultural heritage.
