Core issues addressed include classification schemes to describe people in the crowd, leisure, tourism and recreation settings; analyses of motivation; destination and entertainment images and choices; studies of facility design including orientation; a review of conflicts; management by interpretation; cross-cultural interaction; and assessing satisfaction complaints and experiential outcomes. Sustainability issues and emic (participant) perspectives provide key reference themes throughout the subject.
