The Power of New Urban Tourism explores new forms of tourism in
urban areas with their social, political, cultural, architectural
and economic implications. By investigating various showcases of
New Urban Tourism within its social and spatial frames, the book
offers insights into power relations and connections between
tourism and cityscapes in various socio-spatial settings around the
world. Contributors to the volume show how urban space has become a
battleground between local residents and visitors, with changing
perceptions of tourists as co-users of public and private urban
spaces and as influencers of the local economies. This includes
different roles of digital platforms as resources for access to the
city and touristic opportunities as well as ways to organise and
express protest or shifting representations of urban space. With
contemporary cases from a wide disciplinary spectrum, the
contributors investigate the power of New Urban Tourism in Africa,
Asia, the Americas, Europe and Oceania. This focus allows a
cross-cultural evaluation of New Urban Tourism and its dynamic, and
changing conception transforming and subverting cities and tourism
alike. The Power of New Urban Tourism will be of great interest to
academics, researchers and students in the fields of cultural
studies, sociology, the political sciences, economics, history,
human geography, urban design and planning, architecture, ethnology
and anthropology.
