This book delves into the development opportunities for peripheral
areas explored through the emerging practices of agritourism, wine
tourism, and craft beer tourism. It celebrates the entrepreneurial
spirit of people living in peri-urban regions. Peripheral areas
tend to be far from urban hubs, providing essential services but
also typically suffering from marginalisation and remoteness,
despite the access to environmental, cultural, and social
resources. In this sense, this book investigates the linkages
between local agency and tourism in peripheral areas, the role of
existing policies, and the evolving bottom-up practices in
fostering local development. The basic aim is to disestablish the
dichotomies that often emerge when dealing with issues of
rural-urban and/or centre-periphery relationships; innovation vs
tradition; authenticity vs mise en scene; agency vs inertia; and
social, cultural, economic mobility vs immobility; etc. With
focused attention on the possible compliance or conflicting
strategies of local actors with the existing policies, the book
considers how local actors and communities respond to the
implications of peripherality in areas often impacted by
marginalising processes. Drawing upon case studies from North
America and Europe, this book presents this connection as a global
phenomenon which will be of interest to community and economic
development planners and entrepreneurs.
