This timely and significant book explores the characteristics and
complexities of Asian urban tourism, considering the extent to
which Western paradigms can be transferred to Asian settings and
the striking contrasts that exist within the region. In an era of
unprecedented urban expansion in Asian cities, this book comes at a
time of great urgency, illuminating the possible problems and
opportunities that arise when a destination emerges as a tourism
hotspot. Split into three parts; introducing Asian urban tourism
and urbanization, the management and marketing of Asian cities, and
emerging trends and issues associated with Asian urban tourism, the
book offers a range of varying and vibrant perspectives from
international and interdisciplinary experts in the field. Chapters
include studies on a wide range of destinations such as Hong Kong,
Macau, Cambodia, Phuket, Kolkata, Busan, Delhi, and Sri Lanka among
many others, and explore crucial contemporary themes such as
overtourism, urbanization and administrative challenges, world
heritage, smart cities and the use of technologies such as VR in
urban tourism experience creation. It will be a vital resource for
upper-level students, researchers, and academics in tourism, city
tourism, Asian studies, development studies, cultural studies, and
sustainability, as well as professionals in the field of tourism
management.
