Domestic violence; Tourism industry; Hospitality industry

This book explores the roles that control, abuse, bullying and family violence can play within the tourism system. While it is generally understood that such behaviours are significant issues in society, the correlation between these types of behaviour and tourism has not been assessed in scholarly circles. The volume sets out to explain each of these behaviours within tourism industries using autoethnography as its method. This book reveals the heightened risk of family violence during family events, sporting events and in the tourism system, and explains that risks continue and can even increase after separating from a perpetrator of family violence. This is an important and under-researched area in the tourism and events literature and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in these fields, as well as family violence, social work, health and law.

Reviews for Control, Abuse, Bullying and Family Violence in Tourism Industries

This highly original study looks at the rarely examined impact of marital pathology on family tourist behaviour. The author vividly narrates how it felt on a daily basis to live under the same roof as a violent man, and the game-playing intimidation he put on her movements, particularly during holidays. * Tony Seaton, University of Luton, UK * This is a deeply personal and haunting account of the effects of family violence in tourism. It provides much needed insights, taking a child-centric approach, into the underbelly of the tourism industry. A must read for any researcher trying to shatter the illusion of the benign nature of tourism and happy family holidays. * Heike Schanzel, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand *
