Cross-Cultural Aspects of Tourism and Hospitality offers a comprehensive guide to the influence of culture on customers as well as service providers, affecting both the demand and the supply sides of the industry – services marketing and consumer behaviour, management, organisational behaviour, and human resource management.

Individual chapters provide a diversified perspective to include intercultural competence and intercultural sensitivity, uncertainty avoidance and risk aversion, context in communication, power distance, indulgence and restraint, time orientation, gender egalitarianism, assertiveness, individualism and collectivism, performance orientation, and humane orientation. This new edition has been updated to include: New content on technological advancements such as the impact of advanced technologies such as AI in general, the generative AI, and service robots, particularly in the context of service encounters and interactions in tourism and hospitality, together with cross-cultural aspects of sustainable tourism. New international case studies throughout to show the application of theory. New problem-solving tasks, chapter takeaways, and checkpoints in each chapter to aid understanding.
