The Language of Tourism: A Sociolinguistic Perspective
Languages convey messages, have a heuristic or semantic content, and operate through a conventional system of symbols and codes.In this book, it is shown that tourism, in the act of promotion, as well as in the accounts of its practitioners and clients, has a discourse of its own.The language of tourism is however much more than just a metaphor.Through pictures, brochures and other media, the language of tourism attempts to seduce millions of people into becoming tourists and subsequently to control their attitudes and behaviour.Tourists, in turn, contribute further to this language through the communication of their experiences.This book provides the first sociolinguistic treatment of tourism.It draws on both semiotic analyses of tourism and on the content of promotional material produced by the tourism industry.The author writes in a way that is both rigorous but accessible.Providing a highly original treatment, the book is of interest to all studying tourism from a social science perspective.In addition, it has important implications for tourism marketing and for professionals in the tourism industry.

Tourism and Disability : An Economic and Managerial Perspective
This book addresses existing challenges and opportunities related to tourism for people with disabilities.A niche market that is largely underdeveloped, its potentials are also often underestimated.It examines the strategies, policies, and initiatives – at regional, national, and international levels – to foster the development of accessible tourism for people with disabilities.It does so by examining the different social, cultural, legal, and information/interactive barriers that represent important constraints to welfare, inclusion, integration, and promotion of civil rights, which bring difficulties and detriment to tourists with disabilities. Additionally, the book analyzes the characteristics and dynamics of that portion of the tourism industry that is more oriented to meet the distinctive travel demand of people with disabilities.In doing so, the book explores how preferences for travel services and facilities of people with disabilities differ from preferences of tourists without disabilities.All these issues are addressed from both a theoretical and a practical perspective by adopting a multidisciplinary approach, which leverages from the fields of management, economics, and statistical analysis.The book can be useful for a broad audience made of both researchers and practitioners (among which tourism companies and corporate trainers) who are expected to deal with the topic of tourism management.

Which perspective?
The perspective that one chooses to adopt can greatly influence their understanding of a situation or issue. It can shape their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. By considering different perspectives, individuals can gain a more well-rounded view of a topic and make more informed decisions. It is important to be open to different perspectives in order to foster empathy, understanding, and collaboration.
-
How can one forget culture and heritage?
One can forget culture and heritage by not actively engaging with it, by being disconnected from one's roots and community, and by prioritizing other aspects of life over preserving and celebrating one's cultural identity. This can happen through assimilation into a different culture, lack of exposure to one's own cultural traditions and practices, and a lack of interest in learning about one's heritage. Additionally, societal pressures and discrimination can also contribute to the erasure of one's culture and heritage.
-
Which writing perspective?
The writing perspective refers to the point of view from which a story is told. It can be first person, where the narrator is a character in the story and uses "I" to tell the story. It can also be second person, where the narrator addresses the reader as "you," or third person, where the narrator is not a character in the story and uses "he," "she," or "they" to tell the story. The choice of writing perspective can greatly impact how the reader experiences and interprets the story.
-
From whose perspective?
The perspective from which a story or situation is being told can greatly influence the way it is perceived. It is important to consider the perspective of the narrator or the person telling the story, as well as the perspectives of the different characters involved. Understanding the different viewpoints can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and can help to uncover different layers of meaning and interpretation.

Is the cavalier perspective the same as the parallel perspective?
No, the cavalier perspective and the parallel perspective are not the same. The cavalier perspective is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown in its true size and shape, but the depth is not shown accurately. The parallel perspective, on the other hand, is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown with accurate depth and proportions using parallel lines to create the illusion of depth. In summary, the cavalier perspective does not accurately represent depth, while the parallel perspective does.
-
What distinguishes the parallel perspective from the vanishing point perspective?
The parallel perspective, also known as isometric perspective, does not use a vanishing point to create the illusion of depth. Instead, all lines remain parallel and do not converge towards a single point. This results in a more uniform and less realistic representation of space. In contrast, the vanishing point perspective uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space, resulting in a more realistic and dynamic representation of objects and scenes.
-
What is the difference between central perspective and parallel perspective?
Central perspective, also known as one-point perspective, is a type of linear perspective where all lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon. This creates the illusion of depth and distance in a two-dimensional drawing or painting. On the other hand, parallel perspective, also known as two-point perspective, involves two vanishing points on the horizon line, making it suitable for depicting objects from different angles or viewpoints. In parallel perspective, objects appear more realistic and three-dimensional compared to central perspective.
-
Is the internal perspective and the external perspective always distinguishable?
The internal perspective and the external perspective are not always easily distinguishable. The internal perspective refers to an individual's thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while the external perspective refers to how others perceive and interpret the individual's behavior. However, these perspectives can often be intertwined, as an individual's internal experiences can influence their external behavior and how others perceive them. Additionally, individuals may not always be aware of their own internal perspective, making it difficult to separate from the external perspective. Therefore, while the two perspectives are distinct in theory, in practice they can be interconnected and challenging to differentiate.
