Tourism: A Temporal Analysis is an academic book edited by Philip Goulding and published by Goodfellow Publishers in 2023. The text explores how temporality (time-based variations like seasonality) manifests within and impacts global tourism markets, looking at its effects on the industry, consumers, and the environment.
Goulding, a former Principal Lecturer in Tourism at Sheffield Business School, collaborates with international experts to frame this concept through case studies and vignettes.
The book is structured into four distinct parts:
1. Dimensions and Relationships Between Time and Tourism
• Explores the fundamental, multi-dimensional connections between time and human travel patterns.
• Investigates the root causal reasons behind tourism seasonality.
• Analyzes the links between seasonal variations, consumer motivations, and why people travel when they do.
2. Operational Dimensions of Temporality
• Addresses supply-side factors and business realities.
• Details the heavy financial challenges of navigating "peak season" and "low season" cycles.
• Analyzes mechanisms like revenue forecasting, yield systems, labor management, and strategic pricing.
3. Strategic Responses to Temporal Variation
• Shifts focus to macro policy considerations for business owners and destination managers.
• Evaluates the deployment of targeted temporal marketing campaigns.
• Explores combatting low seasons through targeted festivals, events, and social media.
4. The End of Temporality?
• Investigates "de-temporalisation" and the intentional rise of year-round tourism models.
• Reviews technology-driven future opportunities and growth enablers.
• Examines the negative consequences of a constant tourism stream, such as overtourism
