The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an
important and increasingly popular tourist destination. The
Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to
engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to
commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation.
Interest is also being sharpened in the 'places of war' as
battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a
clearer identity as war heritage. For the first time this book
brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and
tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered
nature of the Western Front. The book approaches the area as a rich
dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of
ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually. To
illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region's
landscape - commemorative and heritage - are highlighted and their
relationship to tourism explored. Tourism is a lens through which
these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted
with according to the individual's own knowledge, motivation, and
degree of emotional engagement.Tourism is not regarded here as a
passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine,
dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front:
Heritage, Landscape and Tourism is a timely addition to our
increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it
was fought. It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper
understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued
perspectives.
