Shopping Tourism, Retailing and Leisure provides a comprehensive examination of the relationships between tourism, leisure, shopping, and retailing. Critical issues are examined within the framework of the dichotomous relationship between utilitarian and hedonic forms of shopping, shopping as a primary and secondary attraction in tourist destinations, the development of various tourist-retail venues, the role of souvenirs in tourism, and management issues (e.g. merchandising, venue design, and customer service).

Dr. Dallen J. Timothy is Associate Professor at Arizona State University and Visiting Professor of Heritage Tourism at the University of Sunderland, UK. His primary research areas in tourism include heritage, politics, co-operation/collaboration, planning, developing regions, consumption, migration and ethnicity. He has published numerous books, chapters and scholarly articles related to these and other subjects. His research has involved extensive work in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and the Caribbean.

This is an exceptionally well-researched volume on a subject often dismissed by researchers and even marketers. It is a welcome addition to the literature on this important activity and should be of interest to a wide audience. Shopping Tourism, Retailing and Leisure is a short, well written book on a subject that is far more important than one might think. Dallen Timothy is to be congratulated for taking shopping out of the closet.
