Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This timely Research
Agenda moves beyond classic approaches that consider the
relationship between heritage and tourism either as problematic or
as a factor for local development, and instead adopts an
understanding of heritage and tourism as two reciprocally supported
social phenomena that are co-produced. Chapters draw on case
studies from Europe, North America and Asia, offering important
insights on heritage consumption, hypercommodification, war
tourism, dissonant heritage, decolonizing heritage and the rising
importance of the digital world of tourism. The book commences with
a global overview on the changing paradigm of heritage tourism,
before focusing on heritage and tourism at different scales and the
impacts of globalization on heritagization. It also examines the
political nature of tourism heritage construction and the
experiential turn of heritage tourism practices. An invigorating
read for students and scholars of tourism and heritage studies,
this book offers a multitude of suggestions for pathways for future
research. It is also a timely read for those working with heritage
sites and looking to better understand the intersection between
heritage and tourism.

Since its beginnings, tourism has inspired built environments that
have suggested reinvented relationships with their original
architectural inspirations. Copies, reinterpretations, and
simulacra still constitute some of the most familiar and popular
tourist attractions in the world. Some reinterpret archetypes such
as the ancient palace, the Renaissance villa, or the Mediterranean
village. Others duplicate the cities in which we lived in the past
or we still live today. And others realise perceptions of utopias
such as Shangri-La, Eden, or Paradise. Replicas – duplitecture
– and simulacra can have symbolic meaning for tourists, as merely
inspiring an atmosphere or as truly authentic, and their
relationship to original functions, for worship, accommodation,
leisure, or shopping. Tourism and Architectural Simulacra questions
and rethinks the different environments constructed or adapted both
for and by tourism exploring the relationship between the
architectural inspiration and its reproduction within the tourist
bubble. The wide range of geographical areas, eras, and subjects in
this book show that the expositions of simulacra and hyper reality
by Baudrillard, Deleuze, and Eco are surpassed by our complex
world. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach they offer original
insights of the complex relationship between tourism and
architecture. The chapters in this book were originally published
as a special issue of the Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change.
Tourism Fictions, Simulacra and Virtualities offers a new
understanding of tourism's interaction with space, questioning the
ways in which fictions, simulacra and virtualities express tourism
in the built environment and vice versa. Since its beginnings,
tourism has inspired themed built environments that have a
constitutive, and sometimes problematic, relationship with the
"real" world and its architectural references. This volume
questions and rethinks the different environments constructed or
adapted both for and by tourism exploring the relationship between
the "real" and the "unreal" within the tourist bubble and the ways
in which the real world inspires simulacra for tourism use.
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach this book touches on a wide
range of geographical areas, eras and subjects such as
post-socialist tourism in Poland, the Hawaiian imaginary in Las
Vegas, Rio de Janeiro's Little Africa, as well as multiple
instances of virtual reality in tourism. This timely and innovative
volume will be of great interest to upper level students,
researchers and academics in tourism, architecture, cultural
studies, geography and heritage studies.
This title offers a dynamic understanding of tourism, usually
defined in terms of clearly circumscribed places and temporalities,
to grasp its changing spatial patterns. The first part looks at the
"befores" - everyday places such as daily markets, flea markets,
urban neighbourhoods, that have captured the tourists' interest and
have progressively experienced new development in their ordinary
patterns. The second part investigates the "afters" - former
tourist spaces moving beyond the tourism sphere and becoming places
of everyday life, study, or work. Chapters explore what this means
for local societies and examine this contemporary phenomenon of
former tourist attractions becoming ordinary and everyday, and of
ordinary places beginning to take on a tourist dimension. The
hybridisation of tourist practices and ordinary practices is also
explored through a range of international case studies and examples
written by highly regarded and interdisciplinary academics. This
edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students,
academics, and researchers in tourism, urban studies, and land use
planning.
Providing a unique analysis of current multidisciplinary research
on the complex relationships between tourism and the imaginaries of
tourist destinations, this book traces the links between tourism
imaginaries and their religious (heaven) and political (utopia)
antecedents. The substantive chapters are organised into three main
thematic sections, the first explores the touristic production and
consumption of place imaginaries, the second analyses the way
places are practiced through imaginaries and the role imaginaries
play in the tourist experience and the final section explores the
way images and the media participate in the creation of tourism
imaginaries.

Tourism gentrification is a critical shaping force of
socio-economic and contemporary urban landscapes. This book aims to
be the first substantive text on this subject, explaining the
multiple and complex relationships between tourism and
gentrification and their outcomes and manifestations in
contemporary metropolises. This is achieved by drawing on in-depth
case analyses addressing the different issues at stake. Part I
deals with the manifestations of tourism gentrification and the
ways it affects urban landscapes through heritagization and urban
regeneration strategies. Part II looks at the correlations between
tourism gentrification and culture. Finally, the last two parts aim
to identify and examine forms and expressions of tourism
gentrification, distinguishing among the actors, beneficiaries, and
victims of the phenomenon while looking at its implications for
intra-metropolitan territories and metropolitan governance. The
book approaches these issues in an innovative way, by looking at a
variety of metropolises in a diverse range of countries and by
dealing with the different relations and management issues
generated by gentrification in relation to tourism. Through
interdisciplinary approaches, this groundbreaking text sheds light
on the role tourism plays in contemporary metropolises, furthering
knowledge of urban tourism. For these reasons, it will be of
particular interest to scholars and students of tourism, urban
studies, geography, anthropology and sociology.

The remarkable success of the 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the
Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is borne out by
the fact that nearly 1,000 properties have now been designated as
possessing Outstanding Universal Value and recognition given to the
imperative for their protection. However, the remarkable success of
the Convention is not without its challenges and a key issue for
many Sites relates to the touristic legacies of inscription. For
many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a
promotional device and the management challenge is one of
protection, conservation and dealing with increased numbers of
tourists. For other sites, designation has not brought anticipated
expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is
clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of
stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites.
Fashion and tourism have common structures and similarities on many
fronts. Both phenomena and their operations have been through their
‘mass’ cycles, currently seeking alternative ways of expression
and development. Both industries are also important business
sectors globally. Fashion and Tourism: Parallel Stories analyzes
the convergences between fashion and tourism from an academic
perspective. It investigates the existing linkages between these
industries, as well as how the two synergistically impact each
other through real-world case studies and examples. The central
hypothesis is that these two modern ‘collaborative’ phenomena
have been reciprocally influenced for over 200 years. Each industry
is a major indicator of economic and political systems, cultures,
values, and imaginaries. Their parallel analysis allows the reader
to better understand not only what one owes to the other, but
significantly, how their parallel actions shape and reflect
contemporary societies globally.

Not all World Heritage Sites have people living within or close by
their boundaries, but many do. The designation of World Heritage
status brings a new dimension to the functioning of local
communities and particularly through tourism. Too many tourists
accentuated by the World Heritage label, or in some cases not
enough tourists, despite anticipation of increased numbers, can act
to disrupt and disturb relations within a community and between
communities. Either way, tourism can be seen as a form of activity
that can generate interest and concern as it is played out within
World Heritage Sites. But the relationships that World Heritage
Sites and their consequent tourism share with communities are not
just a function of the number of tourists. The relationships are
complex and ever changing as the communities themselves change and
are built upon long-standing and wider contextual factors that
stretch beyond tourism. This volume, drawing upon a wide range of
international cases relating to some 33 World Heritage Sites,
reveals the multiple dimensions of the relations that exist between
the sites and local communities. The designation of the sites can
create, obscure and heighten the power relations between different
parts of a community, between different communities and between the
tourism and the heritage sector. Increasingly, the management of
World Heritage is not only about the management of buildings and
landscapes but about managing the communities that live and work in
or near them.
