 2 Social Media Storytelling for Sustainable Destination Campaigns The Monograph as Textbook The monograph Travel Writing for Tourism and City Branding: Urban Place Writing Methodologies was created from research and the teaching of travel writing at tourism and business schools across Europe.

This handbook therefore aims to be additional support in teaching travel writing methodologies and in making advances in the methodology of dialogue as research.   Every place, city or a tourism destination is a complex system

The 2nd Congress of the International Network of Sociology of Sensibilities For many years researchers in Europe and Latin America have been questioning the production, management and re-production of social sensibilities, researching the connections between "emotions, body and society".

One morning, the body of the vice-president of the chamber of commerce and business leader is found dead in front of the courthouse." That was enough to make me order a copy from Amazon.
