Control, Abuse, Bullying and Family Violence in Tourism Industries

"This book explores control, abuse, bullying and family violence within the tourism system using autoethnography. It reveals the impacts of family violence and is an important and under-researched area in the tourism literature and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in tourism, events, family violence, social work, health and law"-- Provided by publisher 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.
