Tourism and Heritage in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (Hardcover)

This book considers the role of the guides as experience brokers, focusing on the synergy between tourists and guides in the performance of heritage interpretation. The author proposes to perceive tour guides as important actors in the bottom-up construction of heritage discourse contributing to more inclusive and participatory approach to heritage management. demonstrates that the CEZ has been going through a dynamic transformation into a mass tourism attraction, the book offers a critical reflection on heritagization as a meaning-making process in which the resources of the past are interpreted, negotiated, and recognized as a valuable legacy. Applies the concepts of dissonant heritage to describe the heterogeneous character of the CEZ, the book broadens the interpretative scope of dark tourism. argues that post-disaster sites such as Chernobyl can teach us a great deal about the importance of preserving cultural and natural heritage for future generations. will be of interest to academics and students who are engaged in the study of heritage, tourism, memory, disasters and Eastern Europe.
