Geographical analysis of tourism spaces and places is advancing
fast. In terms of human geography, the various recent academic
turns have led to fresh examination of existing debates and have
advanced new theoretical ideas in geography that are more salient
than ever for tourism studies. The Routledge Handbook of Tourism
Geographies seeks to examine such recent developments by providing
a state-of-the-art review of the field, documenting advances in
research and evaluating different perspectives, approaches,
techniques and contexts.
The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies considers recent
disciplinary developments (including post-disciplinarily) in
geography in relation to the study of tourism. It also analyses the
fledging relationships of the new mobilities Paradigm, critical
tourism studies and cultural political economy to tourism spaces
and places, as well as acknowledging a spatial turn in
poststructuralist social sciences more generally. In addition, it
evaluates how postcolonial, feminist, sensory, performative and
queer perspectives have diversified research in the tourism
geographies field. Spatial analysis, time geography, placemaking
and landscape concerns are addressed and issues such as transport,
environmental discourses and development are also analysed.
Finally, the volume 's contributions highlight key areas for
advancing research and map out the dimensions of future
trajectories in tourism geographies in different theoretical and
thematic contexts.
Written by leading scholars in the tourism geographies field,
this text will provide an invaluable resource for all those with an
interest in Tourism Geographies, encouraging dialogue across
disciplinary boundaries and areas of study.

Thanks to the rise of neoliberalism over the past several decades,
we live in an era of rampant anxiety, insecurity, and inequality.
While neoliberalism has become somewhat of an academic buzzword in
recent years, this book offers a rich and multilayered introduction
to what is arguably the most pressing issue of our times. Engaging
with prominent scholarship in media and cultural studies, as well
as geography, sociology, economic history, and political theory,
author Julie Wilson pushes against easy understandings of
neoliberalism as market fundamentalism, rampant consumerism, and/or
hyper-individualism. Instead, Wilson invites readers to interrogate
neoliberalism in true cultural studies fashion, at once as history,
theory, practice, policy, culture, identity, politics, and lived
experience. Indeed, the book's primary aim is to introduce
neoliberalism in all of its social complexity, so that readers can
see how neoliberalism shapes their own lives, as well as our
political horizons, and thereby start to imagine and build
alternative worlds.

Destinations across the world are beginning to replace or
supplement culture-led development strategies with creative
development. This book critically analyzes the impact and
effectiveness of creative strategies in tourism development and
charts the emergence of 'creative tourism'. Why has 'creativity'
become such an important aspect of development strategies and of
tourism development in particular? Why is this happening now,
apparently simultaneously, in so many destinations across the
globe? What is the difference between cultural tourism and creative
tourism? These are among the important questions this book answers.
It critically examines the developing relationship between tourism
and creativity, the articulation of the 'creative turn' in tourism,
and the impact this has on theoretical perspectives and practical
approaches to tourism development. A wide range of examples from
Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and Africa explore the
interface between tourism and creativity including: creative spaces
and places such as cultural and creative clusters and ethnic
precincts; the role of the creative industries and entrepreneurs in
the creation of experiences; creativity and rural areas; the
'creative class' and tourism; lifestyle, creativity and tourism and
marketing creative tourism destinations. The relationship between
individual and collective forms of creativity and the widely
differing forms of modern tourism are also discussed. In the
concluding section of the book the contribution of creativity to
tourism and to development strategies in general is assessed, and
areas for future research are outlined. The diverse
multidisciplinary contributions link theory and practice, and
demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of creativity as a tourism
development strategy and marketing tool. It is the first
exploration of the relationship between tourism and creativity and
its consequences for tourism development in different parts of the
world.
This volume examines and contrasts different perspectives on and
approaches to the geography of tourism from across European regions
and language traditions. Authors have critiqued the dominance of
Anglo Saxon voices in research on tourism geographies - not just in
linguistic terms - but also in relation to the framing and
theorizing of space, place and tourism appearing largely based on
Anglo-Saxon research contexts. This is a tendency observed across
the whole spectrum of research in human geography. In an attempt to
redress this imbalance, nine internationally renowned contributors
from across Europe share their knowledge and experiences of
research and scholarship in their respective regional contexts,
plus an overview chapter is provided by C. Michael Hall, editor of
the journal Tourism Geographies. This volume aims to: map out the
past and present of the tourism geographies sub-discipline within -
and more importantly - beyond the English language contributions
learn from the historical trajectories as well as experiences of
tourism geographers working in different cultural and linguistic
contexts.
