The Routledge Handbook of Borders and Tourism examines the multiple
and diverse relationships between global tourism and political
boundaries. With contributions from international, leading
thinkers, this book offers theoretical frameworks for understanding
borders and tourism and empirical examples from borderlands
throughout the world. This handbook provides comprehensive overview
of historical and contemporary thinking about evolving national
frontiers and tourism. Tourism, by definition, entails people
crossing borders of various scales and is manifested in a wide
range of conceptualizations of human mobility. Borders
significantly influence tourism and determine how the industry
grows, is managed, and manifests on the ground. Simultaneously,
tourism strongly affects borders, border laws, border policies, and
international relations. This book highlights the traditional
relationships between borders and tourism, including borders as
attractions, barriers, transit spaces, and determiners of tourism
landscapes. It offers deeper insights into current thinking about
space and place, mobilities, globalization, citizenship, conflict
and peace, trans-frontier cooperation, geopolitics, "otherness" and
here versus there, the heritagization of borders and memory-making,
biodiversity, and bordering, debordering, and rebordering
processes. Offering an unparalleled interdisciplinary glimpse at
political boundaries and tourism, this handbook will be an
essential resource for all students and researchers of tourism,
geopolitics and border studies, geography, anthropology, sociology,
history, international relations, and global studies.
