Produktbeschreibung

This book is a response to the burgeoning interest in cultural tourism and the associated need for a coherently theorized approach for understanding the practices and processes that such an interest creates. This groundbreaking volume provides a theoretical and empirical account of what it means to be a cultural tourist and a creative, affective user of heritage itself. It is a fundamental and influential contribution to research in this field - it will be significant value to students, academics and researchers interested in this broad topic area.
