This book explores the links between tourism and festivals and the
various ways in which each mobilises the other to make social
realities meaningful. Drawing upon a series of international cases,
festivals are examined as ways of responding to various forms of
crisis - social, political, economic - and as a way of re-making
and re-animating spaces and social life. Importantly, this book
locates festivals in the constantly changing, socio-economic and
political contexts that they always operate in and respond to -
contexts that are both historical and modern at the same time.
Tourism is bound closely together with such contexts; feeding and
challenging festivals with audiences that are increasingly
transient and transnational. Tourism interrogates notions of ritual
and tradition, shapes new spaces and creates, and renews,
relationships between participants and observers. No longer can we
dismiss tourists simply as value neutral and crass consumers of
spectacle, nor tourism as some inevitable commercial force. Tourism
is increasingly complicit in the festival processes of
re-invention, and in forming new patterns of social existence.
