Histories of seaports and coastal resorts have usually been kept in
separate compartments. This book brings them together and looks at
how resort development affected historic ports during the rise and
development of the seaside holiday in Europe from the 18th century
to the 20th, and what the attributes of ports (fishing, harbour
crafts, the whiff of the exotic, fishermen's homes and families)
contributed to the attractions of resorts. Case-studies drawn from
across Europe, from Wales and the Netherlands to Norway, Latvia and
Spain, bring original perspectives to bear on these histories and
relationships, and consider their influence on seaside heritage and
regeneration at a time when coastal settlements are increasingly
using their past to secure their future. The book will interest
academics in tourism studies, history, geography and cultural
studies, as well as provide essential information and analysis for
policy-makers in coastal regeneration.
