A Hospitable World?: Organising Work And Workers In Hotels And Tourist Resorts (Contemporary Geographies Of Leisure, Tourism And Mobility)

This book explores the organisation of work, worker identities and worker strategies in hotel workplaces, as they are located in heterogeneous labour markets being changed by processes of globalisation. It uses an explicitly geographical approach to understand how different groups of workers experience and respond to challenges in the hospitality industry, and is based on recent theoretical debates and empirical research on hotel workplaces in cities as different as Oslo, Goa, London, Las Vegas and Toronto. It is valuable reading for all those interested in hospitality, tourism, human geography and globalisation.
