The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Tourism explores and critically
evaluates the debates and controversies in this field of Tourism.
It brings together leading specialists from a range of disciplinary
backgrounds and geographical regions, to provide state-of-the-art
theoretical reflection and empirical research on this significant
stream of tourism and its future direction. The book is divided
into 7 inter-related sections. Section 1 looks at the historical,
philosophical and theoretical framework for cultural tourism. This
section debates tourist autonomy role play, authenticity,
imaginaries, cross-cultural issues and inter-disciplinarity Section
2 analyses the role that politics takes in cultural tourism. This
section also looks at ways in which cultural tourism is used as a
policy instrument for economic development. Section 3 focuses on
social patterns and trends, such as the mobilities paradigm,
performativity, reflexivity and traditional hospitality, as well as
considering sensitive social issues such as dark tourism. Section 4
analyses community and development, exploring adaptive forms of
cultural tourism, as well as more sustainble models for indigenous
tourism development. Section 5 discusses Landscapes and
Destinations, including the transformation of space into place,
issues of authenticity in landscape, the transformation of urban
and rural landscapes into tourism products and conservation versus
development dilemmas. Section 6 refers to Regeneration and
Planning, especially the creative turn in cultural tourism, which
can be used to avoid problems of serial reproduction,
standardisation and homogenisation. Section 7 deals with The
Tourist and Visitor Experience, emphasising the desire of tourists
to be more actively and interactively engaged in cultural tourism.
This significant volume offers the reader a comprehensive synthesis
of this field, conveying the latest thinking and research. The text
is international in focus, encouraging dialogue across disciplinary
boundaries and areas of study and will be an invaluable resource
for all those with an interest in Cultural Tourism. This is
essential reading for students, researchers and academics of
Tourism as well as those of related studies in particular Cultural
Studies, Leisure, Geography, Sociology, Politics and Economics.
