Tourism Destination Evolution

Od Redakcji 
Outlining the need for fresh perspectives on change in tourism, this book offers a theoretical overview and empirical examples of the potential synergies of applying evolutionary economic geography (EEG) concepts in tourism research. EEG has proven to be a powerful explanatory paradigm in other sectors and tourism studies has a track record of embracing, adapting, and enhancing frameworks from cognate fields. EEG approaches to tourism studies complement and further develop studies of established themes such as path dependence and the Tourism Area Life Cycle. The individual chapters draw from a broad geographical framework and address distinct conceptual elements of EEG, using a diverse set of tourism case studies from Europe, North America and Australia. Developing the theoretical cohesion of tourism and EEG, this volume also gives non-specialist tourism scholars a window into the possibilities of using these concepts in their own research. Given the timing of this publication, it has great potential value to the wider tourism community in advancing theory and leading to more effective empirical research.

Tourism Imaginaries at the Disciplinary Crossroads. Place, Practice, Media

Recenzja wydawnicza
'Tourism exists within and between momentary realities and ever-accelerated flows of images and ideas. This insightful volume deepens our understandings of tourism and its transformative power of people and places through a critical engagement with collective representations, their circulation and influences. Importantly it draws upon extensive disciplinary perspectives and international cases to offer a rich and valuable addition to the tourism studies literature.' Mike Robinson, University of Birmingham, UK
