With the rise of post-truth and fake news, a thorough examination
of authenticity has never been so relevant. This book explores the
geography of authenticity, investigating a wide variety of places
used by tourists. Not only does it assess what might be described
as the more traditional objects for examination - places such as
the city, the countryside and the coast - it also includes chapters
on art and place, hipster places, gentrification, heritage sites,
film locations, photographed places and eventful places. Using a
wide-angled lens on places reveals linkages and possibilities,
enabling the book to skate across the surface of the geography of
authenticity, locating the magically real heritage site, the
poignant replica, the authenticated theme park, the unmasked
carnival. In focusing on authentic and inauthentic places, this
text provides a useful contribution to the understanding of how
places are changing, how they are perceived, and how authenticity
is embodied and performed within them. Authentic and Inauthentic
Places in Tourism is an insightful study and an essential read for
those involved in the study of geography, tourism, urban studies,
culture and heritage.
