Tourism Routes and Trails plunges into the world of 'extended'
tourism, offering an exploration of the 'routes' phenomenon whereby
tourism is no longer for a given destination, but extends over
multiple sites, a territory or landscape. Covering how such routes
are created, often as ways of clustering experiences, it also
reviews their effects on tourism businesses, local populations and
other stakeholders. Emphasising the critical role of local
communities, volunteers and small businesses, as well as those who
provide strategic direction and funding, the book: - Is based in
tourism theory, but focuses on the models and practice of route
formation; - Includes a rich selection of contemporary examples and
cases, showing the reader best practice as well as illustrating
challenges and risks; - Covers both strategic issues of concern to
nations, regions and local authorities, and the complex dynamics
occurring on the ground, such as the role of grass-roots
organisations and local communities. Routes allow destinations to
diversify their offer and spread the economic and social benefits
of tourism. With tourist behaviour increasingly shifting to
thematic experiences, this book shows how to create these in a way
that is both meaningful for visitors and beneficial for the
destination. Suitable for tourism policy makers, economic
development agencies and local stakeholders, it is also a vital
resource for the next generation; students of tourism, sociology,
local politics and economic development.

All the more desirable coastal land of the New World had been
acquired by the 1840s and '50s. The Scots-Irish entered this
country through the Mid-Atlantic States rather than New England.
They settled first in Virginia and Maryland and then moved on to
Kentucky and Virginia. Some went further south from there, while
others moved west. Raiders and Horse Thieves is the story of my
early childhood in Cedar Creek, Texas (Bastrop County), during the
final days of World War II. Due to Reconstruction and the Great
Depression, economic growth in this central Texas County had been
severely restricted. The residents maintained the pioneer values
and lived the lifestyle of a much earlier period. This is a true
story of the human will to persevere, against Nature and against
one another. I describe growing up in a ramshackle old house called
The Holcomb Place, in Cedar Creek, Bastrop County. All the elements
of life in rural Texas are there: drought; storms; rattlesnakes;
religion; guns. . . ."-Jackie Ellis Stewart
