«This book provides a thoughtful reflection on the domain of receiving and giving behaviours in hospitality and tourism, with ethical implications for the tourism industry. The various chapters, though eclectic, cover a variety of topical issues, adopting at times a positive psychology or tourist misbehaviour lens. This book is a valuable resource for tourism and hospitality researchers and practitioners.»

Girish Prayag, University of Canterbury, New Zealand

«This book offers a refreshing look at tourism and hospitality, bringing in philosophical terms and insights to inform a wide range of activities and experiences during leisure travel. The area of philosophy and tourism can cover many different subject areas and here the author offers a rich perspective on giving and receiving in tourism, aided by case studies, quotes and illustrations.»
