Exclusively planned tourism destinations have increased
substantially over the last decades. As a result, gated leisure
communities, all-inclusive resorts, private cruise liner-owned
island and other tourism enclaves are rather common features in
tourism, especially in the peripheries and low- and middle-income
countries. Tourism enclaves can have varied characteristics and
scales of operations but typically they involve standardized
'non-local' themes or appeal in their design, activities and
economies. Typically, such tourism spaces contain all or a vast
majority of facilities and services needed for tourists who have
limited possibilities or desires to leave the enclave. At the same
time, the locals' access to these spaces is often limited or
otherwise regulated. Thus, enclave tourism spaces are controlled
and separated from surrounding communities. Tourism Enclaves:
Geographies of Exclusive Spaces in Tourism focuses on tourism
enclaves in different theoretical and geographical contexts. The
chapters of the book aim to contribute to our understanding of how
these exclusive spaces are created and transformed and how they
shape places and place identities. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal Tourism
Geographies.
