<p><strong>"Overall, this is an easy-to-read book that provides a rich set of both theoretical background and empirical evidence of the multidimensional concept of tourist experience. The book adopts a positive psychological approach to explore the concept and provides findings from numerous types and forms of tourists and tourist activities to support its arguments. In this vein, books exploring tourism experiences from a ‘negative’ or other approach nicely complement this book, e.g. books on dark tourism and/or adventure tourism. The book constitutes a very useful reading for researchers-academics, students, professionals and policy makers involved and interested in creating and managing tourist experiences."</strong><em>– Marianna Sigala, University of the Aegean, published in Tourism Management</em></p>
