TextSeries: Contemporary geographies of leisure, tourism and mobilityPublisher: London : Routledge, 2018Description: 344 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781138342248 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Tourism -- Social aspects -- Case studies | Cities and towns -- Case studies | Tourism and city planning -- Case studies | Travel and Tourism | Travel and TourismDDC classification: 338.4'791 Summary: Across the globe, from established tourist destinations such as Venice or Prague to less traditional destinations in both the global North and South, there is mounting evidence that points to an increasing politicisation of the topic of urban tourism. In some cities, residents and other stakeholders take issue with the growth of tourism as such, as well as the negative impacts it has on their cities; while in others, particular forms and effects of tourism are contested or deplored. In numerous settings, contestations revolve less around tourism itself than around broader processes, policies and forces of urban change perceived to threaten the right to 'stay put', the quality of life or identity of existing urban populations. This work looks at urban tourism as a source of contention and dispute and analyses what type of conflicts and contestations have emerged around urban tourism in 16 cities.
