This book explores the role of tourism in the expression of
nationalism in Nepal. It investigates assemblage of images,
emblems, and symbols of Nepali nationhood in various touristic
representations and narratives from Nepali travellers and diasporic
visitors to showcase how they express nationhood and stimulate a
strong sentiment of national feeling and belonging. The book
suggests that touristic settings in Nepal provide a venue for
articulation of nation, first through internal ascription, that is,
the construction of identity by citizens with the nation; and
second, through the promotion of distinctive touristic identity
through the assertion of national uniqueness and distinguishing the
nation within the larger international community. Given the recent
great political changes, post-conflict nation rebuilding, and
development, Nepal offers a fascinating case study on the role of
tourism and nationalism. This book will be of great interest to
students, scholars, and professionals working in tourism and
heritage studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, political
science, and area studies, as well as those interested in the study
of developing societies.

This book explores the role of tourism as a means to express
'nation' and 'nationhood'. Based on field research in southwest and
central Scotland it shows how various historical accounts, cultural
icons and images, events and celebrations create a meaning of the
Scottish nation. It examines the narratives, either explicit or
implicit, produced at heritage-related tourism sites and how these
become interwoven with the ideology of a nation. This volume will
be of use to researchers and students in tourism and heritage
studies, Scottish studies, culture and identity, nationalism and
national identity; as well as to tourism and heritage industry
professionals and policy-makers.
