Diasporas result from the scattering of populations and cultures
across geographical space and time. Transnational in nature and
unbounded by space, they cut across the static, territorial
boundaries more usually deployed to govern tourism. In a vibrant
inter-disciplinary collection of essays from leading scholars in
the field, this book introduces the main features and constructs of
diasporas, and explores their implications for the consumption,
production and practices of tourism. Three sets of mutually
reinforcing relationships are explored: experiences of diaspora
tourists the settings and spaces of diaspora tourism the production
of diaspora tourism. Addressing the relationship between diasporic
groups and tourism from both a consumer and producer perspective,
examples are drawn from a wide spectrum of diasporic groups
including the Chinese, Jewish, Southeast Asian, Croatian, Dutch and
Welsh. Until now, there has been no systematic and detailed
treatment of the relationships between diasporas, their
consumptions and the tourist experience. However, here, Coles and
Timothy provide a unique navigation of the nature of these
inter-connections which is ideal for students of tourism,
sociology, cultural studies.
