Linked to special interest tourism (SIT), luxury yachting is an exclusive area of tourism and practice which operates in a relatively small and niche environment. Part I offers a range of academic contributions on luxury yachting from a tourism perspective. Part II provides an insight into the industry from the practitioner perspective. Part III stimulates discussions around yachting practices in different destinations. With a truly global outlook, this contributed volume enhances our understanding of a lucrative area within tourism that has so far been under-researched and under-explored. Tatiana Gladkikh is a Sector Manager (Business, Management and Computing) at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI), Perth College. Hugues Seraphin is a Senior Lecturer in Event and Tourism Management Studies at the University of Winchester. Victoria Gladkikh is a luxury yachting practitioner with experience of working on board of 50 85 meter luxury motor yachts.
