This book includes papers presented at the 6th Arte-Polis
International Conference. The theme of the conference was
"Imagining Experiences: Creative Tourism and the Making of Place",
and the book brings together studies based on lessons-learned,
research and critical reviews related to creative tourism and
reflections on placemaking. Covering a broad range of topics,
including cultural and experiential perceptions of landscape,
sustainable design, urban and rural planning, traditional and
vernacular environment, public realm, thematic tourism, as well as
heritage preservation and management, it discusses how issues of
tourism shape our understanding of and discourse on architecture
and landscapes. The book serves as an invitation to more
participatory and polyphonic dialogues in the field of
architecture, art and planning.

Events are becoming more complex as their range of functions
grows, as: meeting places, creative spaces, economic catalysts,
social drivers, community, image makers, business forums, and
network nodes. Effective design can produce more successful
business models that can help to sustain cultural and sporting
activities even in difficult economic times. This process requires
creative imagination, and a design methodology or in other words
Imagineering .
This book brings together a wide range of international experts in
the fields of events, design and Imagineering to examine the event
design process. It explores the entire event experience from
conception and production to consumption and co-creation. By doing
so it offers insight into effective strategies for coping with the
shift in value creation away from transactional economic value
towards social and relational value which benefit a range of
stakeholders from the community to policy makers. Mega-events,
small community events, business events and festivals in eight
different countries are examined providing an international view of
social issues in event design.
A wide selection of current research perspectives are employed,
integrating both theoretical and applied contributions. The
multidisciplinary nature of the material means that it will appeal
to a broad academic audience, such as art and design, cultural
studies, tourism, events studies, sociology and hospitality.

Literary tourism is a nascent field in tourism studies, yet
tourists often travel in the footsteps of well-known authors and
stories. Providing a wide-ranging cornucopia of literary tourism
topics, this book fully explores the interconnections between the
written word and travel. It includes tourism stories using
guidebooks, films, television and electronic media, and recognises
that stories, texts and narratives, even if they cannot be
classified as traditional travel writing, can become journeys in
themselves and take us on imaginary voyages. Furthermore, the book:
- Provides a grounding in the theoretical perspectives on
literature and the tourist experience; - Explores practical
applications of literary tourism, such as destination promotion and
creation, responsible tourism and learning benefits; - Uses global
case studies to study literary tourism in action. Appealing to a
wide audience of different disciplines, it encompasses subjects
such as business literary writing, historical journeys and the
poetry of Dylan Thomas. The use of these different perspectives
demonstrates how heavily and widely literature influences travel,
tourists and tourism, making it an important read for researchers
and students of tourism, social science and literature.
