Both visitor attractions and events play pivotal roles in the
appeal of tourism destination regions to visitors by virtue of
being the main motivator of tourist trips and determining
consumers' choices. However, more recently visitor attractions have
become more multifaceted, have proliferated and fragmented in terms
of form, location, scale and style, and their role is undergoing
major changes in a post-modern world as a result of consumer
demands and competitive innovations. Visitor Attractions and Events
for the first time theoretically and empirically explores the
relations between events and attractions to offer new thinking of
the role of space and place in shaping development, management
practices and strategies in the sector as well as future
implications. The book reveals how location is pivotal in the
development, planning, and management of visitor attractions and
events. Whereas the location of natural attractions is relatively
fixed in space and their locations cannot be predetermined or
relocated, human-made or contrived attractions are more influenced
by the planning process in the context of the locational
decision-making process. Competition and cooperation between
visitor attractions and the aspects which shape these relations,
including complementarities, compatibility, knowledge spill overs
and diffusion of innovations, product similarities and spatial
proximity remain largely ignored in the visitor attraction sector
and thus are major elements in the focus of this book. Comparative
examples ranging from small to major attractions in a wide variety
of locations are included. This significant volume will appeal
widely to all those interested in the visitor sector, such as
tourism, events, leisure studies, destination management and
sociology.
