Across the globe, from established tourist destinations such as
Venice or Prague to less traditional destinations in both the
global North and South, there is mounting evidence that points to
an increasing politicization of the topic of urban tourism. In some
cities, residents and other stakeholders take issue with the growth
of tourism as such, as well as the negative impacts it has on their
cities; while in others, particular forms and effects of tourism
are contested or deplored. In numerous settings, contestations
revolve less around tourism itself than around broader processes,
policies and forces of urban change perceived to threaten the right
to 'stay put', the quality of life or identity of existing urban
populations. This book for the first time looks at urban tourism as
a source of contention and dispute and analyses what type of
conflicts and contestations have emerged around urban tourism in 16
cities across Europe, North America, South America and Asia. It
explores the various ways in which community groups, residents and
other actors have responded to - and challenged - tourism
development in an international and multi-disciplinary perspective.
The title links the largely discrete yet interconnected disciplines
of 'urban studies' and 'tourism studies' and draws on approaches
and debates from urban sociology; urban policy and politics; urban
geography; urban anthropology; cultural studies; urban design and
planning; tourism studies and tourism management. This ground
breaking volume offers new insight into the conflicts and struggles
generated by urban tourism and will be of interest to students,
researchers and academics from the fields of tourism, geography,
planning, urban studies, development studies, anthropology,
politics and sociology.
