Book SynopsisNorthern Getaway investigates the connections between film and tourism of the 1890s through the 1950s. Using evidence from archival sources and current scholarship in film history and tourism studies, Dominique Brégent-Heald demonstrates that Canada was an innovator in employing film to project a recognizable destination brand.Trade Review“Northern Getaway makes an extremely compelling case that pre-1939 Canadian cinema was part of the vanguard that harnessed the potential of motion pictures in the service of tourism promotion, subtly weaving a new narrative of relations between Canadian and American interests during the era in question. The result is frankly quite a profound reframing of Canadian film history, rescuing it from its common perception as a stunted branch-plant industry merely serving American interests.” Peter Lester, Brock University

Book SynopsisCultural Tourism remains the only book to bridge the gap between cultural tourism and cultural and heritage management. The first edition illustrated how heritage and tourism goals can be integrated in a management and marketing framework to produce sustainable cultural tourism. The current edition takes this further to base the discussion of cultural tourism in the theory and practice of cultural and heritage management (CM and CHM), under the understanding that for tourism to thrive, a balanced approach to the resource base it uses must be maintained. An âumbrella approachâ to cultural tourism represents a unique feature of the book, proposing solutions to achieve an optimal outcome for all sectors. Reflecting the many important developments in the field this new edition has been completely revised and updated in the following ways: New content on increasingly relevant topics including sustainability, climate change, the threat of de-globalizaTrade Review'As they have done throughout their careers, Hilary du Cros and Bob McKercher once again help us think more clearly about cultural tourism.

Book SynopsisThe Power of New Urban Tourism explores new forms of tourism in urban areas with their social, political, cultural, architectural and economic implications. By investigating various showcases of New Urban Tourism within its social and spatial frames, the book offers insights into power relations and connections between tourism and cityscapes in various socio-spatial settings around the world.Contributors to the volume show how urban space has become a battleground between local residents and visitors, with changing perceptions of tourists as co-users of public and private urban spaces and as influencers of the local economies. This includes different roles of digital platforms as resources for access to the city and touristic opportunities as well as ways to organise and express protest or shifting representations of urban space. With contemporary cases from a wide disciplinary spectrum, the contributors investigate the power of New Urban Tourism in Africa, Asia, theTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book explores theoretical concepts of strategic promotion and place branding in cities. It outlines the issues associated with strategic management of urban territories and highlights various types of development strategies that seek to encourage socio-economic development, growth and city branding, particularly within the tourism industry. It examines the rules and methods for analysing the current branding of a city and how new branding and promotion strategies are created. Through a range of international examples the book considers the missions, aims and implementation of branding strategies and the importance of monitoring and controlling procedures. The first part of the book provides theoretical context, followed by a detailed exploration of the promotional and branding strategy prepared for the city of TomaszÃw Mazowiecki in Poland.This book provides the reader with theoretical and practical insights on city branding and will appeal to scholars and studentTrade Review'Waldemar Cudny's book provides a much-needed understanding of strategies used by various stakeholders to increase production and consumption, build revenues, and provide new opportunities for transactions in cities. In urban geography, we study commodification of housing, patterns of land use, growth and decline. This book adds the need to expand our content in urban geography and urban studies instruction and research to include the processes and outcomes of the commodification of a place or a region as a whole through branding and marketing. The book provides a theoretical analysis of city branding strategies supplemented by a practical case study.'— Professor Sharmistha Bagchi-Sen, Department of Geography, University at Buffalo, USA. 'City branding and promotion – the strategic approach bridges the gap between theory and practice in the field of urban management and marketing. It presents a useful a state of the art review of current knowledge and challenges reductionists approaches in the field. The case study presented allows readers to engage with a real life example.

Book SynopsisTrade 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 SynopsisTrade Review‘Cities should be able to cater to travel-starved citizens of the world aching to spend their savings as soon as the Covid-19 travel bans are lifted. But how to do that without falling back into the trap of overtourism? The answers can be found in this collection of highly informative readings. They carefully balance theoretical and practical deliberations, providing an international comparative perspective based on numerous good and bad practices from the past. These should serve both as food for thought and inspiration for tomorrow, for academic researchers and practitioners alike.’ -- Irena Ograjenšek, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia‘This book stands out in what is a rapidly growing field by balancing the two main discourses in urban tourism in recent decades: the opportunity for economic and social development vs. the devastating forces of overtourism for urban economies and societies. This edited collection gives us the state of the art academic and policy points of view on the future of tourism in cities.’ -- Noam Shoval, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel‘This book gives an impressive analysis of the state of the art of urban tourism in different parts of the world. It shows that many cities are at a critical juncture where the social costs of tourism tend to outweigh the social benefits, creating the need for a new, more sustainable business model for urban tourism. Through a challenging research agenda Jan van der Borg presents -- the fundamentals for such a business model.

Book SynopsisMigration and forcible displacement are growing and impactful dynamics of the current global age. These processes generate mobility flows, travel patterns and touristic behaviour driven by personal and collective memories. The chapters in this book highlight the importance of travel and tourism for enabling such memories and memory-based identity practices to unfold.This book investigates how diasporic communities, transnational migrants, refugees and the internally displaced recreate home in their host place of residence through material culture, performativity and social relations; and how involuntary tangible and intangible stimuli evoke memories of home. It explores an array of diverse geographical contexts, balancing ethnographic vignettes of contemporary migrant societies with archival research providing historical accounts that reach back more than a century.Memory, Migration and Travel makes an original contribution by linking the emergent field of Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIn geography, a region is one of the most obscure and controversial scientific research objects. However, the tourism sector frequently uses the term, both in the communication of tourism destinations and in daily-life vocabulary, to characterize spatial practices that overtake the scale of a place. That said, a geographic concentration of place, equipment and accommodation does not equate to a tourist region. In order to define the tourist region, this book presents the common thoughts and interpretations of it, which have been advanced by geographers since the beginning of the 20th Century. The Tourist Region also examines stakeholders’ logics that are identified in the practices of a tourist destination in a regional dimension, and explores the tourist region as a territorial co-construction. Finally, this book analyzes multi-level regional networks of tourist places, built according to tourist mobilities. By presenting several measurement methods of the tourist region, this book explains the spatial practices of tourists and anticipates the actions for tourism professionals. Table of ContentsPart 1. The Region, a Complex Concept Applied to Tourism 1. Tourist Places, with their Foundations in the Tourist Region. 2. The Tourist Region, a Localized Area and Localizer. 3. Geographical Approaches of the Tourist Region. Part 2. Stakeholder Logics in the Practice of a Tourist Destination in a Regional Dimension 4. Tourists and their Territories Practices in a Regional Representations as a Tool to Define the Tourist Region as Experienced Dimension. 5. Investors and their Structuring of Regional Tourist Territories. 6. Developers and Local Actors Mobilization for Promotion of their Regional Territories. 7.

Book SynopsisTourism in Cuba: Casinos, Castros, and Challenges presents an in-depth exploration of the history and development of tourism in Cuba. Beginning with the earliest days of prohibition in the US, Tony L. Henthorne illustrates how Cuba strove to position itself as an uninhibited Caribbean playground for the well-heeled American traveler. This book analyzes the ways in which Cuban tourism reached previously unimagined economic heights through the "new normal" of casinos, nightclubs, and prostitution during Fulgencio Batista's reign, and it examines the forces sustaining his rise to power. Fidel Castro's revolution set out to end Batista's reign of corruption, promising a new beginning for Cuba and the Cuban people. Casinos were shuttered, and the other hedonistic trappings of decadence quickly vanished; relations between the US and Cuba were severed, and the island began a long transformative relationship with the Soviet Union. This book provides an illuminating insight into the impact of these social and economic changes upon tourism in Cuba. Henthorne goes on to explore Barack Obama's significant travel and economic concessions to Cuba, which resulted in a soar in tourism, and he evaluates how Donald Trump has since scaled back on US overtures to Cuba. He also provides an insider's look at the Cuban tourist product - what it was, what it is, and what it may be in the future.Trade ReviewThis volume examines the history and development of tourism in Cuba, from the earliest days of Prohibition through the mob-influenced "Golden Age" to today.

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 SynopsisInterest in tourism with a social imperative is gaining momentum not only amongst policy makers, but also researchers and the academy. This thought-provoking and timely Handbook considers the impact and challenges that social tourism has on people's lives. Integrating case studies from around the world, chapters showcase the latest research on social tourism and its potential role in tackling the challenges posed by modern, mass tourism development that can lead to sustainable alternatives and social equity in participation. Contributors explore tourism activities that are directed towards positive social and personal outcomes for people who would not be able to access leisure or holiday travel without such interventions and illustrate the social imperative of tourism as a force for good. The Handbook of Social Tourism enables academics and students from various disciplines, as well as practitioners in the tourism sector, to obtain a more holistic understanding of this phenomenon and offers an enlightening and stimulating read.

On one hand, it gives a fresh snapshot of the problem of poverty and inequalities accelerated by modern consumption. On another, an all-encompassing diagnosis shaped by interdisciplinary research, which was conducted by worldly researchers, is generously offered as interplay between theory and practice.’ -- Maximiliano E Korstanje, Tourism Management‘This Handbook brings together cutting-edge work that addresses experiences from around the globe and examines social tourism from many angles and at many levels. The Handbook of Social Tourism advances our understanding of the conceptualisation of social tourism and how it is applied in practice at various points around the world. The chapters in this book contribute to building an argument that social tourism advances not only social inclusion, social equity and social justice through the capacities of tourism and tourism stakeholders, but also wider sustainability in tourism. It is hard to find faults in this comprehensive and valuable work.’ -- Freya Higgins-Desbiolles, International Journal of Tourism PolicyTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Handbook of Social Tourism 1 Anya Diekmann and Scott McCabe PART I HISTORICAL AND SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTEXT 2 Social tourism in evolution, open to its socio-political environment 13 Louis Jolin 3 Going on holiday: an apprenticeship? 23 Claire Billen PART II SOCIAL TOURISM IN CONTEXT 4 Social tourism in Latin America: regional initiatives 33 Erica Schenkel and Marcelo Vilela de Almeida 5 Economic benefits of social tourism: theoretical reflections and insights for management 43 Joana Lima and Celeste Eusébio 6 The rights to tourism: reflections on social tourism and human rights 59 Scott McCabe and Anya Diekmann 7 The social tourism programmes in Spain 72 José David Cisneros-Martínez and Antonio Fernández-Morales 8 Leveraging stakeholder perspectives in social tourism: ‘large scale listening’ for innovation 83 Lynn Minnaert PART III BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES 9 Mental health and social tourism: exploring the provider landscape 98 Philippa Hunter-Jones, Steve Flatt, Liz Crolley and Katie Neary 10 From welfare to wellness: European spas at the crossroads 108 Anya Diekmann, Melanie Kay Smith and Jean-Paul Ceron 11 Social tourism in the UK: the role of the voluntary sector as providers in a period of austerity 123 Gareth Shaw, Scott McCabe and Julie Wooler 12 Nature for all?

Book SynopsisThe widespread international interest in the Nordic region and the mobility of Nordic brand imaginaries calls for more research into the global relevance of Nordic place branding practices. This book offers a timely attempt to unpack the specificity of the Nordic in regards to place branding by gathering different transdisciplinary accounts written by researchers in marketing, tourism, geography, communication, sociology, and political science. Chapters are organized according to three themes of poetics, practices and politics, which deal with the construction, enactment and appropriation of the Nordic place brand and branding. The contributions consolidate Nordic place branding scholarship and its scientific engagement with processes of de-politicization, consensus making, collaboration and transparency. At the same time, Nordic ideals, policies and values offer a critical lens to explore hitherto unexplored issues in place branding such as feminism, post-colonialism, sustainability, and equality. Solidly grounded in contemporary geopolitical and sociocultural challenges within and beyond the Nordic region, The Nordic Wave in Place Branding will enhance theoretical, methodological and practitioner perspectives in in international place branding. This timely book will be of interest to advanced students of branding and place management, as well as policy makers, regional developers and researchers within the fields of tourism, destination marketing, branding, and media and communication.

WaadeTrade Review'Surfing the Nordic wave allows readers to engage with a much-needed tide of fresh perspectives on place branding, moving through geographical scales and disciplines. Relying on engaged scholarship, the book will be of interest to a wider audience beyond the Nordic borders and particularly to those concerned with critical marketing and management, local and regional development, or urban policy and planning.' --Chiara Rabbiosi, University of Padua, Italy'Nordic ideas and values appear to have pervaded almost every aspect of life: politics, human relationships with the environment, lifestyle, design, cuisine, the arts ...nothing it seems has been untouched by the so-called ''Nordic wave''. The editors have carefully assembled a wealth of academics to unpack Nordic place branding, producing an end result of considerable breadth and depth in its scholarship.' --Dominic Medway, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK'As opposed to many handbooks on place branding, this book has the serious intent to address critical and complex questions, rather than just practical ones. At the same times it has successfully avoided the stereotype of the Nordic as a brand concept, or as a region with mythical qualities. That is as I see it, a hallmark of scholarly craftmanship.' --Per Olof Berg, Stockholm University, SwedenTable of ContentsContents: Foreword: towards a Nordic manifesto by Britt Kramvig xix Preface xxiii 1 The Nordic wave in place branding: moving back and forth in time and space 1 Cecilia Cassinger, Andrea Lucarelli and Szilvia Gyimóthy PART I POETICS OF NORDICITY 2 Reinvention through Nordicness: values, traditions, and terroir 11 Lars Pynt Andersen, Frank Lindberg and Jacob Östberg 3 A Nordic perspective on supranational place branding 25 Jörgen Eksell and Alicia Fjällhed 4 Sparking the Nordic music brand 39 Jessica Edlom 5 Size matters!

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 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 explores and proposes critical lines of research to support understanding of the conditions under which urban tourism contributes to the development of urban systems, and what can be done to create and conserve these conditions. Chapters highlight conceptual discussions, concrete case studies and policy reviews to address the issues surrounding the economic, environmental and social impacts of tourism on cities.Analysing the trends that have characterized urban tourism in the past, the Research Agenda looks ahead to those that may influence it in the future, including the impact of Covid-19. Chapters further offer a thorough conceptualization and innovative definitions of the phenomenon of urban tourism. The critical issue of the sustainability of tourism development in cities is also discussed in depth.The Research Agenda provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the urban tourism debate, making it a critical read for urban studies and tourism scholars. The detailed case studies from across four continents will also be beneficial to policymakers and urban planners dealing with tourism development.Trade Review‘Cities should be able to cater to travel-starved citizens of the world aching to spend their savings as soon as the Covid-19 travel bans are lifted. But how to do that without falling back into the trap of overtourism? The answers can be found in this collection of highly informative readings. They carefully balance theoretical and practical deliberations, providing an international comparative perspective based on numerous good and bad practices from the past. These should serve both as food for thought and inspiration for tomorrow, for academic researchers and practitioners alike.’ -- Irena Ograjenšek, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia‘This book stands out in what is a rapidly growing field by balancing the two main discourses in urban tourism in recent decades: the opportunity for economic and social development vs. the devastating forces of overtourism for urban economies and societies. This edited collection gives us the state of the art academic and policy points of view on the future of tourism in cities.’ -- Noam Shoval, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel‘This book gives an impressive analysis of the state of the art of urban tourism in different parts of the world. It shows that many cities are at a critical juncture where the social costs of tourism tend to outweigh the social benefits, creating the need for a new, more sustainable business model for urban tourism. Through a challenging research agenda Jan van der Borg presents -- the fundamentals for such a business model. This is a must read for those interested in understanding the future of urban tourism.’– Leo van den Berg, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: Preface xiii 1 Introduction to A Research Agenda for Urban Tourism 1 Jan van der Borg PART I URBAN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT 2 Urban tourism: major trends 19 Bozana Zekan and Karl Wöber 3 Urban tourism as a special type of cultural tourism 33 Greg Richards PART II URBAN TOURISM IN AN INTERNATIONAL, COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE 4 Smart governance in historic urban destinations - evidence from Croatia 55 Lidija Petrić and Ante Mandić 5 Understanding community perception through resident attitude studies: a segmentation analysis in Flemish art cities 85 Bart Neuts and Vincent Nijs 6 Tourism in Venice: mapping overtourism and exploring solutions 109 Nicola Camatti and Dario Bertocchi 7 The Rotterdam way: a new take on urban tourism management 129 Shirley Nieuwland, Ewout Versloot and Egbert van der Zee 8 New urban developments in a heritage area.

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 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.

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.

This book cries out ''read me'', imploring us to deepen our understanding of the multitude of ways in which tourism acts as a force of globalisation and has wide ranging impacts on people and planet.' --Regina Scheyvens, Massey University, New Zealand'The globalisation of humanity on our planet has always been driven by movements from one place to another. In this way, tourism has come to be a dominant globalising force today. This timely book provides insights from leading scholars on how tourism both produces globalisation and is shaped by a rapidly shrinking world.' --Alan A. Lew, Northern Arizona University, US'Professor Dallen J. Timothy has compiled a very seminal set of papers on the intersection between tourism and globalisation, a theme often overlooked in many scholarly articles and books. The contributors to this volume have produced a landmark study that will become the key reference book on the subject for many years to come and should be a key work for anyone who is interested in tourism as a globalised activity.' --Stephen Page, University of Hertfordshire, UKTable of ContentsContents: SECTION I GLOBALISATION: MEANINGS AND PROCESSES 1 Introduction to the Handbook of Globalisation and Tourism 2 Dallen J.

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 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. Considering many practical outcomes of tourism policy, this book will also benefit professionals working in tourism, foreign policy, public policy and international relations.Trade Review‘This book brings together a fascinating range of perspectives on the role that tourism can play in promoting peace. By covering issues including the role of the media, social movements, dark tourism sites and education the expertly edited book provides a stepping-stone for renewed scholarly enquiry into this important area of research.’ -- Bruce Prideaux, Central Queensland University, Australia‘Whether tourism leads to peace or not has been a subject of debate for several decades. In this edited volume, a diverse group of contributors offers several fresh perspectives regarding this topic.

Book SynopsisTransport allows tourists to move from their origins to their destinations and within destinations. The increase in tourism, and in connected mobility, has raised sustainability issues in terms of ecological protection and the economic efficiency of competing destinations. This book examines the links between transport, tourism, and sustainability by means of a series of large case studies covering several countries. Themes, frameworks and proposed policies are discussed throughout the book. The concluding chapter of the book takes an explicitly comparative approach and highlights the new contributions that emerge from the case study chapters for both scholars and practitioners. The Transport and Sustainability series addresses the important nexus between transport and sustainability. It contains volumes dealing with a wide range of issues relating to transport, its impact in economic, social and environmental spheres, and its interaction with other policy sectors. Editors and authors take a wide range of approaches - some volumes are general and some specific in nature, and analyses are advanced from a host of different disciplinary backgrounds and perspectives – but the defining feature is that each contribution is grounded in a firm appreciation of how its contents relate to the broader imperatives associated with transport and sustainability.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction; Luca Zamparini Chapter 2. Changes of transport in cross-border tourist regions in the Polish-Slovak borderland: a (un)sustainable development?; Daniel Michniak , and Marek Więckowski Chapter 3.

Book SynopsisThis Handbook provides a critical analysis of the evolution of the contemporary niche tourism phenomenon. By framing discussions around sustainable development thinking, concepts and practical applications, each chapter provides specific reflections on niche tourism trends, successes and/or failures, and the challenges and opportunities that destinations that pursue tourism as a vehicle for sustainable development face around the world.The Handbook includes a blend of academic and practitioner contributors providing a balance of theoretical, conceptual and empirical elaborations on the topic, with case studies from across the globe. It covers a broad range of critical thematic areas, including: nature-based tourism, rural tourism, heritage and culture based tourism, dark tourism, spiritual, religious and wellness tourism, and social and inclusive tourism. Chapters also examine the latest developments in niche tourism, including the impact of Covid-19.This invigorating and comprehensive study of niche tourism will benefit sustainable tourism scholars, as well as tourism researchers and students more broadly. It will also be useful to policy makers and tourism practitioners seeking a better understanding of this increasingly important field.Trade Review‘Tourism is now more dynamic than ever across markets and products globally as we move beyond disruptions. While the context has changed, the opportunities are many. This Handbook is not only a vital contribution to our understanding of tourism nuances, but a motivator for renewed creativity and innovation. Whether reading individual chapters or from cover to cover, this is not only a key contribution to our understanding of niche tourism, but also a call to action with relevant forward-focused insights.’ -- Hannah Messerli, The World Bank, US‘This Handbook provides a welcome addition to tourism scholarship. The niche tourism experiences outlined are largely owned and operated locally, which is something that those of us wanting to see more local control over tourism (especially after the “overtourism” crisis pre-pandemic) and more local benefits from tourism, are seeking. This Handbook is thus well placed to inspire other researchers engaging with ideas around the desire for more sustainable and mindful travel post-pandemic.’ -- Regina Scheyvens, Massey University, New Zealand‘The tourism “product” has, in recent decades, become remarkably diversified; destinations offer and tourists now seek an enormous variety of tourism attractions and experiences that collectively comprise an increasingly significant sector of the overall market – niche tourism. This Handbook makes a vital contribution to our knowledge and understanding of this sector. In particular, its critical perspective, necessarily exploring the problems and prospects of numerous forms of niche tourism within the contemporary context of sustainability, makes it essential reading for those with an interest in tourism development.’ -- Richard Sharpley, University of Central Lancashire, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to niche tourism – contemporary trends and development xxiii Marina Novelli, Joseph M.

'Müller's accessible and timely volume takes a bold step closer to keeping pace with the constantly evolving sub-discipline of tourism geographies, unafraid to challenge earlier foundations and keen to prioritise academic diversity and real-world contexts. The contributors' flair, perspective and passion comes across throughout what is arguably the ideal backdrop for shaping future research agendas in the field.'- Julie Wilson, Open University of Catalonia, Spain Over recent years, tourism geographies have developed into a vibrant field of research, facing increasing challenges from globalisation and environmental change. This Research Agenda presents a unique and original collection of contributions from both established and up-and-coming scholars in the field. Encompassing both contemporary issues, and paving the way for future avenues of research, this book explores and develops research on tourism geographies. Chapters address emerging themes and apply new methodologies, allowing for intellectual and practical challenges to be tackled. With fresh global insights, this book expands on the geographic dimension of tourism work and workers, the challenges brought by changing economic atmospheres, spatial dynamics, big data and climate change to provide a thorough understanding of the field. Ideal for graduate and post-graduate students of geography and tourism studies looking to develop thesis ideas, this Research Agenda highlights the interest and potential of tourism geographers to contribute to a geographical tradition and influence the future content of geography as a discipline.Contributors: M.

Book SynopsisLuxury is an ever-evolving concept with various interpretations in the domain of hospitality and tourism. The understanding of luxury hospitality and travel has revolved around exclusive and authentic experiences, nuanced by finer things with a focus on value rather than price. The marketing of luxury products and services has become increasingly complex as these products and services are associated not only with an image of quality, performance, and authenticity but also with how extreme experiences and products fulfil the lifestyle constructs of consumers. The Emerald Handbook of Luxury Management for Hospitality and Tourism brings together global philosophies, principles and practices in luxury tourism management from both supply and demand perspectives. Several global case studies are presented, further illustrating the changing paradigms of luxury travel market and consumers enabling insight into the upcoming global luxury travel market. Encompassing the vibrant case studies and contemporary discussions on luxury hospitality and tourism developments during the post-pandemic era, this volume will serve as an essential resource for students, researchers, and industry practitioners of hospitality, tourism, management, and marketing consumer behavior, and consumer studies.Trade ReviewThe Emerald Handbook of Luxury Management for Hospitality and Tourism, from editors Anupama S. Kotur and Saurabh Kumar Dixit, investigates the challenges of creating luxury experiences in a post-pandemic world, as managers and guests alike increasingly embrace sustainability. From Oman to Delhi, Norway to the Caribbean, this compendium offers historical perspectives and of-the-moment insights on curating meaningful sensory experiences. Social sustainability and the role of technology are also discussed in detail. For those who create and manage luxury experiences, whether in Michelin-starred restaurants or resorts; or who engage in scholarly research in the field of luxury consumption, this comprehensive book is a must read. -- - Professor Annamma Joy, Ph.D., The University of British Columbia, CanadaLuxury Tourism and Hospitality are still a neglected issue, a privilege of few that is perceived with some prejudice. This Handbook is one more contribution to shape this trend and bring to the discussion a cutting-edge topic that will pave tourism development in forthcoming years. The Handbook looks at the concept and historical perspectives of luxury and introduces the reader to the challenges of managing and marketing luxury within a contemporary perspective of luxury where technology is the leading figure. This edited book shifts the negative perspective of luxury by relating it with sustainability and mirroring luxury trends after the lurking oddness the pandemic brought to the world. With contributions from international experts in the field, The Emerald Handbook of Luxury Management for Hospitality and Tourism provides a research-led perspective of luxury tourism and hospitality from different angles in major tourist newcomers; a must have volume. -- - Professor Antonia Correia, Ph.D., University of Algarve, PortugalWaiting for resorts to open in space, luxury travelers are craving for unique sensory experiences.
