Regimes of Value in Tourism (Paperback)

Drawing from ethnographic work in five continents, this book
demonstrates how different regimes of value in tourism can coexist,
collide, and compete across a varied geographic terrain. Much
theory in tourism economics defines 'value' as a measure of
monetary worth, a concept governing commodity exchange, and a gauge
for tourist satisfaction. The research included in this volume
shows that tourism not only feeds off existing conceptions of value
as a monetary category, but that it is also instrumental in
reproducing and reinforcing those subjective, morally heightened,
and highly intangible values that make tourism and the tourism
economy a complex social, cultural, political, and psychological
phenomenon. The book pushes the debate about the tourism economy
beyond a simplistic understanding of producer-consumer relations,
instead suggesting a refocus on the social, spatial, and temporal
lags in tourism production, and the ensuing differentiated regimes
of values. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change.
