Book SynopsisThis insightful book reappraises how traditional high culture attractions have been supplemented by popular culture events, contemporary creativity and everyday life through inventive styles of tourism. Greg Richards draws on over three decades of research to provide a new approach to the topic, combining practice and interaction ritual theories and developing a model of cultural tourism as a social practice.Taking readers on a concise journey from the 1900s to the present day, Rethinking Cultural Tourism examines the evolution of cultural tourism and the resulting consequences, analysing the dynamics of new practices and emerging trends. The book concludes by considering how technology is causing a shift in tourist behaviour and experiences to meet the ever-growing demand for new travelling experiences and discovering new places and cultures.This innovative, thought-provoking book is an essential read for researchers of cultural and creative tourism and social practices, as well as providing a useful review of the development of cultural tourism for scholars in related fields such as human geography.Trade Review‘Richards’s work and way of thinking is very interdisciplinary, and while this book is intended for tourism scholars and practitioners, I believe this book also offers useful insights for cultural policy scholars, urban planners, sociologists, and geographers. Entrepreneurs and policymakers will also benefit from this work, because it provides key practical suggestions for building on existing theoretical under-pinnings. . . Overall, the book was enjoyable to read, and the examples highlight Richards’s impact on the study of cultural tourism.’ -- Nicholas Wise, 2023 Urban Affairs Association‘This work is among the most articulate and persuasive in bringing together a number of concepts and threads to chart a new path. Richards is successful in suggesting and illustrating an approach that embraces many of the current ideas that are floating around in the literature and that, to my knowledge, have not previously been brought together and linked in a simple, readily understandable, logical fashion. This is a considerable achievement, and it makes the book important reading for those interested in tourism, as well as those concerned about other fields that engage with tourism, such as heritage.’ -- Geoffrey Wall, Journal of Heritage Tourism'Professor Greg Richards is the influential founder of the field of cultural tourism studies and his latest book builds on his 30 years of research and experience, as well as offering fresh and thought-provoking insights. In addition to a comprehensive and reflective synthesis of previous works on the subject, the book explores new, dynamic and holistic models of cultural tourism practices that challenge existing approaches. The work has important implications for experience design, place-making and cultural tourism journey creation today and into the future.' -- Melanie Smith, Budapest Metropolitan University, Hungary'Professor Richards has skillfully drawn upon his 30 years of scholarship to reflect on and reconceptualize the past, present and future of the important cultural tourism phenomenon. This readable and thought-provoking volume epitomizes the Rethinking series by offering readers deep and sustained reflections from the leading authority in the field. Having led the efforts of ATLAS to define the scope and practice of cultural tourism, the author now offers us fresh context and redefinition. Essential reading for scholars, practitioners and students.' -- Brian King, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong'In this work, Greg Richards, the leading exponent of cultural tourism studies, brings together and integrates his many years of research and practical experience in the field. In contrast to the prevailing perception of mass tourists as passive consumers of proffered attractions, Richards stresses the active co-creation of cultural products, sites and events between cultural entrepreneurs and active visitors. The book is rich in concrete examples and will be an attractive source for both students of tourism and tourist practitioners.' -- Erik Cohen, Emeritus Professor, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, IsraelTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisThis unique book examines the vital and contested connections between colonialism and tourism, which are as lively and charged today as ever before. Demonstrating how much of the marketing of these destinations represents the constant renewal of colonialism in the tourism business, this book illustrates how actors in the worldwide tourism industry continue to benefit from the colonial roots of globalisation. This interdisciplinary book focuses on the relationships between tourism, colonialism and place, in both historical and contemporary periods. Chapters explore cases of tourism and colonialism in locations across the globe, from colonial Korea and French Indochina, to colonial Australia, U.S Tourism in the British West Indies, heritage tourism in Mozambique, and city branding in Dunedin. Expert contributors analyse the motivations and impacts of colonial tourism, investigating such diverse topics as the Chinese tourist rush to Taiwan, issues of displacement at wildlife sites in Zimbabwe, the impact of tourism on Indigenous peoples in Hawaii and the pursuit of Macanese identity and re-colonisation. Excavating the range and diversity of colonialism at work in tourism across a wide variety of global destinations, Colonialism, Tourism and Place will be an illuminating read for students and scholars interested in tourism and development, heritage studies, and social, cultural and human geography. Trade Review'Vividly interrogating colonial tourism's hierarchies, this book explores the centuries of Eurocentric global expansion that shape these tourism attractions along with the resistance and critique they provoke. It also provides a fresh refocus on nationalism, identities and power through the comparison to Japanese and Chinese imperialist tourism. Intersecting commonalties include subaltern exploitation by dominant racial/ethnic groups, imaginaries of nostalgic compliance, and erasure or valorization of colonization's violence which are brought together in a rich sourcebook of case studies that expand our knowledge of coloniality in tourism.' --Margaret Swain, University of California, Davis, US'This innovative collection embraces the ''spatial turn' in the humanities and adopts a topographical approach to explore the powerful associations between cultures and societies, colonialism and space. The capacity of the various humanities is particularly welcome for decoding the power of colonial and post-colonial representations through the medium of tourism. The editors deserve commendation for assembling a highly stimulating volume that brings fresh theoretical approaches to the study of tourism and connects diverse settings with a genuinely global perspective.' --Brian King, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong'A fascinating scholarly work that allows readers to re-examine colonialism in all its guises. Themes of dispossession, the annihilation of indigenous culture and re-colonisation are explored. The numerous insights in this book highlight the remarkable global reach of colonisation showing how as one colonial power declined, another emerged. The remnants of colonialism now create a level of familiarity for travellers to connect with a sanitised past.' --Barry O'Mahony, Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates and Swinburne University of Technology, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction 1 Denis Linehan, Ian D.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Tourism is integral to local, regional and national development policies; as a major global economic sector, it has the potential to underpin economic growth and wider development. Yet, transformations in both the nature of tourism and the dynamic environment within which it occurs give rise to new questions with regards to its developmental role. This Research Agenda offers a state-of-the-art review of the research into the tourism-development nexus. Bringing together contributors from across the globe, this Research Agenda answers the key questions including: Are growth-focused tourism policies becoming increasingly detrimental to destination development? Can mass forms of tourism in fact generate more benefits than alternative forms of tourism? Does the role of the state in supporting tourism-induced development require reconsideration? How effective is tourism-related philanthropy in contributing to development? Is community-based tourism a realistic development policy? To what extent can tourism contribute to what is still the most pressing development challenge, namely poverty reduction? A Research Agenda for Tourism and Development offers valuable insights for students and researchers of development studies and tourism, as well as for policymakers and practitioners in tourism industries.Trade Review‘The book serves as a valuable guide for graduate students and scholars from different disciplines and contexts to contribute to comprehensive knowledge and understanding on tourism and development by situating tourism in a broader global development agenda, and contributes to efforts for better rebuilding tourism.’ -- Bengi Ertuna, Journal of Qualitative Research in TourismTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisA must-read for researchers and practitioners focusing on how the tourism industry needs to evolve given the societal and sustainability challenges we face, this comprehensive Handbook serves as a vital reference point for advanced research in tourism and behaviour change. Chapters depict critical reviews and debates on the topic, comprising both theoretical and empirical research illustrated by international case studies to explore strategies for current and future challenges in the field.The Handbook explores why, while there is heightened debate surrounding the negative impacts of tourism, people tend to be psychologically distant from this problem when they travel, and greater efforts need to be made to encourage people to be socially and environmentally responsible. Leading contributors from across the globe show how and why tourists’ and residents’ behaviour change interventions need to be designed to align with the Sustainable Development Goals going forward, and how a thorough understanding of tourism settings is key to achieving desired behaviour change outcomes.With the COVID-19 pandemic encouraging a resurgence of interest in the topic, this timely Handbook will be a key resource for tourism scholars and students. The explorations of why behaviour change is important and when to implement interventions that are offered across the chapters will also be beneficial to tourism practitioners and policy makers.Trade Review'Haywantee Ramkissoon presents a remarkable collection of contributions from experts in the field. Infused with strong conceptualizations, theory and good science, the Handbook on Tourism and Behaviour Change presents an excellent case for why the tourism industry needs to evolve to thoroughly address today's societal and sustainability challenges.

Book SynopsisOffering conceptual, empirical and policy contributions from leading international scholars in the field, this comprehensive Handbook investigates a broad range of innovations and new approaches to tourism aimed at enhancing sustainability.Examining the ongoing competitiveness that exists in 21st Century tourism within a global market environment, chapters expand the debate on how innovation can tackle current challenges including providing clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With climate change and environmental degradation intensifying, this Handbook reviews the urgent system changes needed, as well as considering social dimensions in order to provide cohesion between innovation and tourism. Furthermore, it highlights the important role of policy and governance to allow collective action for the public good while paying greater attention to human values.Researchers and scholars of tourism studies, including tourism management and tourism geography, will find the suggested innovations and debates informative and illustrative. This innovative Handbook will also be an excellent guide for practitioners and policy-makers embedding new and improved ‘ways of doing’ to promote and provide for sustainable tourism.Trade Review‘Innovation is the key to transforming sustainable tourism from an ideal into a reality. This insightful collection of essays outlines how dominant growth and competitiveness paradigms need to, and can, be challenged by imaginative and collaborative innovation. This is cutting-edge research on a vitally important and pressing topic.’ -- Allan M. Williams, University of Surrey, UKInnovation that is based on the principles of sustainable tourism is of paramount importance in light of the climate emergency, global biodiversity loss, plastic pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic – and technology (digital and otherwise) can play a critical role in tackling these. The Handbook of Innovation for Sustainable Tourism is a thought-provoking contribution to the literature, with 16 diverse papers from contributors drawn from across the world, that bolsters our understanding of system change and technology, destination innovation, social dimensions and innovative approaches. -- Anna Spenceley, Spenceley Tourism And Development Ltd (STAND), UK‘This book makes a timely and vital intervention in dialogues concerning the future of tourism sustainability and broader narratives about “building back better”. Business as usual is no longer valid as many of the contributions to this book implore, for without systematic innovation the path towards sustainable tourism will remain a pipe dream. One of the strengths of this book is its pragmatic stance on pathways and transitions to sustainable tourism, thus making it suitable for practitioners, policy-makers and academic researchers alike.’ -- Joseph M.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Original and thought-provoking, this book investigates how creative experiences, interactions, and place-specific dynamics and contexts are shaping the expanding field of creative tourism across the globe. Exploring the evolution of research in this field, the authors investigate pathways for future research that advance conceptual questions and pragmatic issues. Bringing together an array of international perspectives and research approaches, this book investigates the growing synergies between creativity and tourism. Contributors from a variety of disciplines utilize key case studies to examine the development of creative tourism in both the global North and South, including: World Heritage Sites in Malaysia; small communities in Thailand; small town 'creative outposts' in Canada; community-engaged projects in rural Russia; Gangneung, Korea's 'coffee city'; the pioneering creative tourism city of Santa Fe; and a participatory museum in Croatia. Both the growing diversity and scope of creative tourism and the expanding body of literature on this topic makes this timely Research Agenda a vital read for scholars of tourism studies, especially as it offers much-needed suggestions of areas for future research, at doctoral and post-doctoral levels. Tourism policy makers and creative tourism practitioners will also find this a useful read. Contributors: M. Blapp, P. Brouder, M.-A. Delisle, N. Duxbury, M.L. Emmendoerfer, J. Erkkilä-Hill, I.

Book SynopsisTourism as an activity is increasingly being criticised for its exploitative and extractive industrial approaches to business. Yet, it has the power to transform and to regenerate societies, cultures and the environment. The desire to explore the world around us is deeply embedded in many people’s psyche, but it comes at a cost to the environment and often to the residents of the visited communities. Much of tourism education has been closely linked to preparing students for future professional practice, but the challenges and opportunities linked to its consumption require that its future leaders must exhibit very different values and understandings to tackle ever more complex and wicked problems from which tourism cannot dissociate itself.This teaching guide brings together a compilation of values-based learning experiences that can be adapted to suit the needs and disposition of individual instructors. It aims not only to engage students in the subject matter but also deepen their understanding of its complexity and interconnectivity and help them become global citizens that lead lives of consequence.Academics and practitioners in higher education institutions around the world in many different disciplines will find the thought-provoking conversation starters and activities of help in encouraging students to take a multi- or post-disciplinary approach to explore tourism from a values perspective. Consultants and academics engaging community stakeholders in capacity building will value its practical, accessible information.Trade Review‘The crises threatening tourism’s future are causing reflective teachers to re-examine what they are teaching and why. This book synthesizes the knowledge and passion of 45 such educators from diverse origins and disciplines. It is truly a lighthouse in the storm. It sheds light by providing a strong philosophical framework for new approaches to developing tourism curricula focused on values and transformation. In addition to its strong axiological foundations, it contains a wealth of innovative activities and student engagement exercises to ensure its pedagogical relevance. Building on the work of Tourism Education Futures Initiative (TEFI), this book is an inspiration and a much-needed bridge to a new and transformed tourism world. I recommend it as required reading for all tourism educators!’ -- Pauline Sheldon, Professor Emerita, University of Hawaii, US‘Readers who regard education and learning as a transformative force will embrace this book. The editors and contributors are leading thinkers and educators, including early career and established academics. They have collaborated on chapters about a variety of topics, employing diverse pedagogical approaches to addressing the range of environmental, political and sociocultural issues that students will encounter as future leaders and members of society. Considering the need for inclusive, mindful approaches to reducing humanities’ environmental impacts, this collection is informed by principles that enable localised, values-based perspectives. Conversation starters and activities complement each chapter’s discussion and the end result provides thought-provoking inspiration for those who wish to refresh and revitalise their teaching of tourism studies.’ -- Anna Carr, University of Otago/ Te Whare Wananga o Otago, New Zealand‘This is a challenging book. It challenges us to think about what, why and how we teach. It does this by a deep inspection of axiology to understand the value(s) of tourism education. It challenges us to be creative in facilitating learning. It does this through its provocative questions and innovative student activities. And it challenges us to have a transformative effect on our students. It does this by engaging students with the pressing issues of tourism. The authors are to be commended for their practical scholarship, their collaborative approach to writing and for bringing clarity to complex issues. Highly recommended.’ -- John Tribe, York St. John University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface xxi Johan Edelheim, Marion Joppe and Joan Flaherty 1 Tourism didactics 1 Johan Edelheim; Marion Joppe; Joan Flaherty; Barkathunnisha Abu Bakar; Elin Bommenel; Richard Ek; Stuart Reid; Mette Simonsen Abildgaard; Karla A.

Book SynopsisThe Adventure Tourist: Being, Knowing, Becoming brings together two broad areas of academic inquiry – adventure tourism and hospitality studies. In situating the adventure tourist within social, cultural, political, and geographic contexts, The Adventure Tourist considers the adventure experience and offers new ways in which this can be more deeply analysed and interpreted. Focused on the personal tourist experience and what it means to seek adventure through tourism in an uncertain and troubled world, Farkić and Gebbels question the dynamic interactions in modern commodified adventure tourism practice. By questioning hospitality services through philosophical and sociological concepts, focus is maintained on the agency of the individual, bringing into discussion the senses, emotions, and desires of those who consume outdoor spaces globally. The Adventure Tourist responds to the requirements of the outdoor adventure industry today and considers how engagement with theory can inform, challenge and support real-world scenarios in this sector.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction: Being, knowing, becoming Chapter 2. Enframing adventure tourism in 21st century Chapter 3. Guided adventures Chapter 4. Hospitality in adventure tourism Chapter 5.

Book SynopsisRethinking Tourism and Development provides a critical analysis of the tourism industry's impact on development and the environment. While tourism contributes significantly to the global economy, it also generates environmental costs that can no longer be ignored. This book challenges the conventional paradigm of sustainable tourism development and proposes a radical new approach to address the negative impacts of tourism.Chapters cover the global environmental crisis, the overconsumption of tourism and the impact of a growth-based economy in relation to tourism and development. Through a detailed examination of the tourism industry's adherence to the pursuit of economic growth, Richard Sharpley and David J. Telfer argue that the expansion of tourism has resulted in exploitation and inequality. It explores the concept of degrowth and proposes that tourism should be rethought within this framework, offering a possible pathway to a post-growth world.The book is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate tourism students, particularly those focusing on sustainability and tourism economics. It will also be an interesting read for human geography, development studies and environment scholars and academics looking for new insights into the relationship between tourism and development, and how it could be reframed.Trade Review‘Richard Sharpley and David Telfer have done it again! Building on their previous work, the theoretical potency and empirical strength of this book provides a deep foundation for rethinking development in all its forms. The excellent work herein is the most erudite and comprehensive treatise on tourism and development ever written.’ -- Dallen J. Timothy, Arizona State University, US‘This excellent, thought-provoking book calls us to rethink the complex and often paradoxical relationships between tourism and development. Based on their extensive analysis, Sharpley and Telfer invite us to consider a path for tourism to a post-growth world. This is a timely and important book - essential reading for all those thinking about the future of tourism.’ -- Jarkko Saarinen, University of Oulu, Finland, and Uppsala University, Sweden‘There has never been a more critical moment to rethink tourism and its relationship to development. Sharpley and Telfer’s book highlights key concerns, and most importantly, helps to steer us in the direction of a more equitable, inclusive, sustainable and just tourism system.’ -- Regina Scheyvens, Massey University, New Zealand‘Rethinking Tourism and Development provides a timely and thought-provoking contribution which contests current practices in large parts of the global tourism industry. By reviewing previous paradigms of development and today’s consumerism, as well as the global environmental crisis, they uncover a toxic mixture in which tourism plays an important part. Hence, they call for a radical rethinking of growth-oriented pathways in tourism development and suggest degrowth as a remedy. Though not all will embrace such a prescription, the book makes students and scholars of tourism aware that business-as-usual is not an option and indeed a rather perilous way to go. Thus, this is an imperative read for those interested in sustaining tourism and destinations.’ -- Dieter K. Müller, Umeå University, SwedenTable of ContentsContents 1.

Book SynopsisThis timely book introduces the tourist as a non-state actor on the international political stage. Discussing the ways in which tourism has enabled political dynamics to unfold and shape political affairs, Katerina Antoniou suggests how tourist activity can be used to foster inclusive and empowering political conduct, as well as suggestions on how it can support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.Through a combination of theoretical and analytical models from both the fields of international relations and tourism, this book provides an analysis of how tourist activity shapes global political processes and phenomena, and adopts a post-disciplinary approach to the topics discussed. Chapters explore how contemporary tourist activity, driven by cosmopolitan values and cultural literacy, has the capacity to generate inclusive and sustainable development, shape dynamics in international security, and foster sustainable peace. The book further introduces four typologies of tourist-performed diplomacy, covering factors of state interests, global causes, intentional diplomatic activity, and coincidental diplomacy.The blend of insightful case studies and theory will make this an invigorating read for tourism – particularly sustainable tourism – scholars, students, and practitioners. It will also be a critical book for international relations academics as well as policymakers and international organization representatives looking for a deeper understanding of the inter-relationships between tourism and international relations.Trade Review‘Tourism is not only a key part of the international economy, but it can profoundly shape cultural and political interactions between nations. However, there has been almost no exploration of the way that tourism can intimately shape relations between states. This book provides an interesting, timely and innovative contribution to this discussion. By focusing on how the issue can shape diplomacy, security, and even peace processes the author expertly weaves tourism into academic debates about some of the most significant challenges currently facing the international community.’ -- James Ker-Lindsay, London School of Economics and University of Kent, UK‘Katerina Antoniou provides a sophisticated theoretical argument underpinned by a rich empirical analysis that critically (re)considers international relations (IR) as practice. The insights from this comprehensive treatment of tourism greatly expand our understanding of central concerns in IR including development, diplomacy, security, and peacebuilding. Antoniou’s revelations regarding non-state actors, knowledge transmission, cosmopolitan ethics – and more – are compelling, and represent an important contribution to our field.’ -- Michael Butler, Clark University, Massachusetts, US‘This book serves as a guide to those interested in how tourism can be an international relations tool. By discussing a variety of topics related to international security, peace, and diplomacy, this insightful book uncovers the potential of tourism as a catalyst in the international political and economic sphere.’ -- Anna Farmaki, Cyprus University of Technology, CyprusTable of ContentsContents: Tourism as a Form of International Relations: an introduction 1.

Book SynopsisFashion and tourism have common structures and similarities on many fronts. Both phenomena and their operations have been through their ‘mass’ cycles, currently seeking alternative ways of expression and development. Both industries are also important business sectors globally. Fashion and Tourism: Parallel Stories analyzes the convergences between fashion and tourism from an academic perspective. It investigates the existing linkages between these industries, as well as how the two synergistically impact each other through real-world case studies and examples. The central hypothesis is that these two modern ‘collaborative’ phenomena have been reciprocally influenced for over 200 years. Each industry is a major indicator of economic and political systems, cultures, values, and imaginaries. Their parallel analysis allows the reader to better understand not only what one owes to the other, but significantly, how their parallel actions shape and reflect contemporary societies globally.Trade ReviewIn this publication, the convergence of fashion and tourism is explored from an academic perspective, shedding light on the intricate linkages and reciprocal influences between these two vibrant industries. By delving into their shared history spanning over two centuries, the different authors present a compelling hypothesis that unveils the profound impact they have had on each other. Through parallel analysis in the different chapters, readers gain a deeper understanding of the symbiotic relationship between fashion and tourism, and how their collaborative actions shape and reflect contemporary societies worldwide. This insightful work is a must-read for anyone seeking a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic interplay between these global influential forces. -- Eduardo Santander, PhD, Executive Director, European Travel CommissionThe topics of fashion and tourism have many traits in common. The academic world has yet studied them mostly separately. The important contribution of this volume lies in its ability to show their joint effect on social life. Both fashion and tourism seek to sell dreams and both rely on brand image in order to gain recognition and attract the attention of consumers. The 'parallel stories' that are carefully told in this volume constitute a significant understanding of how two big industries have shaped our taste and behavior for the last two centuries. -- Paula von Wachenfeldt, PhD, Associate Professor in Fashion Studies, Stockholm UniversityTable of ContentsIntroductive section Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis timely book argues that the overcrowding of national parks in the United States represents a social problem in need of public sector action and a policy solution, as no systematic means to address this problem has been implemented either nationally or on a park-by-park basis. Throughout the book, Albert N. Link provides an innovative pricing solution to the overcrowding of the parks which will help to change the existing status quo. Utilizing a methodology grounded in economics, and expanding the use and policy relevance of the concept of public sector entrepreneurship, the author illustrates how individuals respond to prices and offers a method to estimate the impact of a seasonal entrance fee based on calculated price elasticities of demand. Chapters also provide recommendations for increases in seasonal entrance fees individually for each of the national parks that currently have an entrance fee.Public Sector Entrepreneurship will be a key resource for academics and students in the fields of entrepreneurship, public management and resource management who are looking to use economics as a framework for analyzing tourism topics, as well as environmental researchers and public policy officials responsible for national parks.Trade Review‘The overcrowding of national parks around the world is not a new phenomenon. This book offers a classic economic rationing technique – differential prices – as a policy remedy to the overcrowding of U.S. national parks. The implementation of this seasonal pricing scheme is illustrated across several examples of national parks. Professor Link offers here a straightforward solution to an old problem. This is a very valuable book to all of us grappling with the overuse of public assets.’ -- Nicholas Vonortas, The George Washington University, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This highly prescient Research Agenda critically examines the delicate intersection of peace and tourism and proposes further research in order to explore how tourism may contribute to peace or, conversely, hinder the peacebuilding efforts of destinations in conflict.Anna Farmaki brings together a wealth of expertise from scholars who present the peace and tourism nexus from a variety of different perspectives, using both empirical evidence and conceptual research to support cases. Chapters discuss tourism as a peace-builder, the acceptance of dark tourism, a gender approach to peace through tourism, and corporate social responsibility as a contributor to peace in conflict-ridden situations. This innovative and forward-thinking Research Agenda provides a vital contribution to this burgeoning area of research, carrying implications for local communities, tourist destinations and wider society at large in conjunction with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.Providing a much-needed re-examination of the connection between peace and tourism, this book will prove essential reading for students, academics and researchers interested in human geography, political geography and geopolitics, tourism management and business and management.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This timely Research Agenda moves beyond classic approaches that consider the relationship between heritage and tourism either as problematic or as a factor for local development, and instead adopts an understanding of heritage and tourism as two reciprocally supported social phenomena that are co-produced.Chapters draw on case studies from Europe, North America and Asia, offering important insights on heritage consumption, hypercommodification, war tourism, dissonant heritage, decolonizing heritage and the rising importance of the digital world of tourism. The book commences with a global overview on the changing paradigm of heritage tourism, before focusing on heritage and tourism at different scales and the impacts of globalization on heritagization. It also examines the political nature of tourism heritage construction and the experiential turn of heritage tourism practices.An invigorating read for students and scholars of tourism and heritage studies, this book offers a multitude of suggestions for pathways for future research. It is also a timely read for those working with heritage sites and looking to better understand the intersection between heritage and tourism.Trade Review'The incomparable Maria Gravari-Barbas has brought together a multinational, multidisciplinary and multi-perspectival group of experts who push the boundaries of how we should approach the sometimes blurred intersections of heritage and tourism. A Research Agenda for Heritage Tourism will appeal to a diverse range of scholars and practitioners interested in issues such as sites' tangibility and intangibility, impacts on diverse communities, race and politics, and new digital forms of heritage storytelling and consumption.' -- Michael A. Di Giovine, West Chester University, US'This is an incisive and exciting book under the leadership of Maria Gravari-Barbas, with her colleagues at IREST and other international and multidisciplinary authors. Examining cases from Asia, the Americas and Europe, they emphasize the ever-growing creation of new and old heritage at the behest of globalized post-colonial and post-communist tourism.' -- Nelson Graburn, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, USTable of ContentsContents: 1 Heritage and tourism: from opposition to coproduction 1 Maria Gravari-Barbas PART I HERITAGE TOURISM: SHIFTING PARADIGMS 2 The deep time of tourism and place: an historical-critical approach to heritage tourism 17 Lucie K.

Book SynopsisThe Creative Tourist brings together four broad areas of academic scholarship: creative tourism, sociology, well-being and new materialism. In acknowledging the intimate entanglement between materiality and human sensuous experiences, the book seeks to examine the relational nature of the tourist experience of collaborative, heritage-based activities. Authors Xavier Matteucci and Melanie Smith explore the multiple dimensions of the creative tourism experience, positioning the creative tourist within various tourist typologies and modes of experience. The Creative Tourist extends the growing body of knowledge on creative tourism by drawing from new materialist philosophy to discuss social eudaimonia as a happiness concept, which foregrounds collective well-being rather than individual flourishing. This latest addition to the highly successful The Tourist Experience series is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, university lecturers, creative entrepreneurs, and research communities exploring creative experiences in contexts such as leisure, lifestyle, cultural tourism, slow tourism, responsible tourism, ethical and sustainable aspects of tourism, social tourism and destination management.Table of ContentsChapter 1.
