This book is a fast-paced and thorough re-evaluation of what
heritage tourism means to the people who experience it. It draws on
contemporary thinking in human geography and heritage studies, and
applies it to a sector of tourism that is both pervasive yet poorly
researched in terms of the perspective of tourists themselves. In a
series of lucid and tightly argued chapters, it traces the use of
semiotics as an analytical tool from its theoretical origins in
text, through the all-important dynamics of visuality into an
expanded realm of feeling and sensuality. Challenging assumptions
about the way that heritage is experienced, this book uses examples
from around the world to explore the semiotic landscape that
surrounds heritage sites, linking what is represented about the
past and how it feels to be there.
