Histories of Tourism by John K Walton
This book develops the historical dimension to tourism studies through thematic case studies. Contributions explore the relationships between tourism, representations, environments and identities in settings ranging from the global to the local, from the Roman Empire to the twentieth century, and from Frinton to the 'Far East'.
"Finally, a long overdue marriage of history and tourism studies! In these well-researched essays by the best scholars in their specialties, readers will find how tourists and their destinations shaped each other and how the tourist experience impacted broader societyA must for both historians and tourism specialists." Gary Cross, Distinguished Professor of Modern History, Penn State University"
