This book offers an insight into the luxury yacht industry as a provider and facilitator of a luxury yacht experience. Linked to special interest tourism (SIT), luxury yachting is an exclusive area of tourism and practice which operates in a relatively small and niche environment. Part I offers a range of academic contributions on luxury yachting from a tourism perspective. Part II provides an insight into the industry from the practitioner perspective. Part III stimulates discussions around yachting practices in different destinations.

The book brings together diverse views from around the world and provides a comprehensive overview of academic integrity and how to create the ethical academy.

This edited volume presents the conference papers from the 1st International Conference on Business, Economics, Management, and Sustainability (BEMAS), organized by the Centre for International Trade and Business in Asia (CITBA) at James Cook University.

Specifically, this book looks at the vulnerab...
This book investigates resource-constrained environments in the tropics and subtropics where people’s lives and businesses are affected, and adaptations occur periodically. Constrained environments are unique territories characterised by challenging circumstances, limited land and natural resources. They can be places with a small municipal boundary or cities in which parts around them may be consumed by ocean, bay or mountains. Those places face hard physical boundaries like coastlines and mountains, which in addition to policy decisions that may limit height or density, can also serve to limit capacity for expansion. Successful communities and businesses tend to survive in a changing environment given their strong intuitive and forward-looking adaptations. This book delves into the role of urban planning and design in the promotion of business and adaptations of people and communities. Additionally, the focus takes into account impact analysis and the effects of an expanding populations, including growing migrant flows, and business needs on the built environment of land-constrained territories
