This book investigates the way localities are shaped and negotiated
through tourism, and explores the emerging success of local
peer-produced hospitality and tourism services which are
transforming the tourist experience. Tourists are now being brought
into much closer contact with locals and have new opportunities to
experience the community at their destination. This book examines
these place experiences and travel-sharing arrangements that have
now spread globally due to the use of social communication
platforms such as Airbnb. It analyses the existence of global
communities of 'place experts' that are redefining the
organisational structures, value systems, market opportunities,
affordabilities and geographies in travel and tourism. This volume
brings together the work of established tourism scholars as well as
early career researchers and is one of the first books to examine
the global-local relationship at tourism destinations and the way
that the rapidly developing field of peer-to-peer tourism is
transforming tourist destinations.
