New Directions in Garden Tourism
by Richard W Benfield
Description
Following on from the success of Garden Tourism, this book provides
an update on the statistics and growth of the global phenomenon of
garden visitation. It delves into new themes and contemporary trends,
from art and culture to psychographic profiling of visitors and how
social media and semiotics are used to enrich visitor experience and
fuel motivation.
In addition to these new topics, the book also expands on important
areas such as the continued rise of urban gardens, garden events,
historic gardens and garden economics. It features:
Visitor statistics for gardens around the world up to 2019.
New case studies of The National Garden of Wales, Missouri
Botanic Garden, Queens Botanic Garden, and Bombay Sapphire
Gin Distillery in Hampshire, UK.
Full-colour images that show gardens in airports, new structures
and initiatives in botanic gardens, the use of botanicals in gin
distilling, animals and birds and the importance of gardens to their
survival, and garden responses to the restrictions imposed on
them by the COVID -19 pandemic.
This new book provides a wealth of information for garden managers
and tourism students. It is written in an engaging style that will appeal
to garden managers, students of horticulture and tourism, and casual
readers interested in the phenomena of gardens.
