This is the first volume to fully explore the complex
relationship between war and tourism by considering its full range
of dynamics; including political, psychological, economic and
ideological factors at different levels, in different political and
geographical locations. Issues of peace and tourism are dealt with
insofar as they pertain to the effects of war on tourism that
emerge after the cessation of hostilities. The book therefore
reveals how not only location, but also political strategies,
accidents of history, transportation linkages, and economic
expediency all have played their role in the development and
continuation of tourism before, during, and after wartime. It
further show how the effects of war are seldom if ever simply a
negation or reversal of the effects of peace on tourism.
The volume draws on a range of examples, from medieval times to
the present, to reveal the multi-faceted development of tourism
amidst and because of conflict in a wide variety of locations,
including the Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, North America,
Africa and South East Asia, showing the diverse ways in which
tourism and war interacts. In doing so it explores how some
locations have been developed as tourist attractions primarily
because of war and conflict, e.g. as resting and training places
for troops, and others flourished because of the threat of danger
from conflicts to more traditional tourist locations.
This thought provoking volume contributes to the understanding
of the interrelationships between war, peace and tourism in many
different parts of the world at different scales. It will be
valuable reading for all those interested in this topic as well as
dark tourism, battlefield tourism and heritage tourism.
