A key feature of the tourism system is its ability to adapt to new
demands while generating others. Tourism's capacity for renewal is
based largely on a balance between competitiveness and opportunity
to transform places and objects or even people into socioeconomic
resources. The modern tourist has become more aware of the pitfalls
of mass tourism, leading to a growing demand for variety. As a
consequence of environmental awareness, tourism has been shown to
be one of the economic activities that contribute most to the
deterioration of the landscape. Today a reinterpretation of the
negative effects of conventional tourism has emerged, resulting in
the gradual appearance of prestigious tourism offers based largely
on demand for authentic 'nature' and 'culture' experiences. This
type of tourism is often associated with responsibility,
participation and sustainability. Tourism planners are aware of
this fact and have therefore adapted their products and
destinations to new market demands. All this can affect the
identity of the local people and the landscape of the destination;
the challenge entails studying ways to preserve the natural and
cultural heritage while avoiding the undesirable effects of new
forms of tourism. The selection of papers presented in this book
deal with cultural tourism, and comprises case studies and
theoretical contributions. The volume addresses issues of cultural
tourism management, demand analysis, post-tourism, new forms of
tourism, cultural effects on destinations and products of
sustainable cultural tourism.
