Tourism Routes and Trails plunges into the world of 'extended'
tourism, offering an exploration of the 'routes' phenomenon whereby
tourism is no longer for a given destination, but extends over
multiple sites, a territory or landscape. Covering how such routes
are created, often as ways of clustering experiences, it also
reviews their effects on tourism businesses, local populations and
other stakeholders. Emphasising the critical role of local
communities, volunteers and small businesses, as well as those who
provide strategic direction and funding, the book: - Is based in
tourism theory, but focuses on the models and practice of route
formation; - Includes a rich selection of contemporary examples and
cases, showing the reader best practice as well as illustrating
challenges and risks; - Covers both strategic issues of concern to
nations, regions and local authorities, and the complex dynamics
occurring on the ground, such as the role of grass-roots
organisations and local communities. Routes allow destinations to
diversify their offer and spread the economic and social benefits
of tourism. With tourist behaviour increasingly shifting to
thematic experiences, this book shows how to create these in a way
that is both meaningful for visitors and beneficial for the
destination. Suitable for tourism policy makers, economic
development agencies and local stakeholders, it is also a vital
resource for the next generation; students of tourism, sociology,
local politics and economic development.
