Jerusalem is a city with a singular nature. Home to three
religions, it contains spiritual meaning for people the world over;
it is at once a tourist destination and a location with a complex
political reality. Tourism, therefore, is an integral part of
Jerusalem's development and its political conflicts. The book
traces tourism and pilgrimage to Jerusalem from the late Ottoman
era, through the British Mandate, during the period of the divided
city, and to the reunification of the city under Israeli rule.
Throughout, the city's evolution is shown to be intertwined with
its tourist industry, as tourist sites, accommodations,
infrastructure, and services transform the city's structures and
open spaces. At the same time, tourism is wielded by various
parties in an effort to gain political recognition, to bolster
territorial control, or to garner support. The city's future and
the role tourism can play in it are examined. While the
construction of a "security fence" will have many implications on
Jerusalem's tourist industry, steps are proposed to minimize the
effects of the security fence and optimize tourism. Written by
leading academics, this title will be valuable reading for
students, academics, and researchers in the fields of tourism,
religious studies, geography, history, cultural studies, and
anthropology.
