Cruise tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors worldwide.
This book is the first of its kind to provide in-depth insights
into the emergence of mega-cruise tourism in destinations on the
Arabian Peninsula and its impacts on local communities, their
spaces, cultures, identities and tourist experiences. It offers a
micro-sociological analysis, calling for holistic, participatory,
mindful approaches and to rethink current exploitative tourism
planning and development. It assumes a high political, social and
economic importance within globalization. It draws on a long-term
field study in an under-researched region in Asia that developed
large-scale tourism recently to diversify the economy. The book
provides insights on the destination development from a state of
continuous growth to a sudden fall in tourism activities due to a
sudden shock, caused by the global health pandemic and its
resilience. It explores the sociocultural, economic and spatial
challenges faced in international tourism development and its power
relations analysed from different perspectives and within time. It
analyses time-space compression, overtourism, urban tourism,
nature-based tourism, enclavization, social capital, imaginaries,
Cultural Ecosystem Services, slow tourism as well as just tourism.
The book provides an innovative contribution to the planning and
development of tourism destinations, communities and their spaces
in which tourism operates in a fast pace. It will be of interest to
academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of
tourism and hospitality management, geography, sociology,
anthropology, urban planning and environmental sciences. Moreover,
the book will be useful for practitioners and policymakers around
the globe, as well as all those interested in the fast emergence
and the impacts of mega-cruise tourism.
