International Cultural Tourism by David Leslie
Provides an exploration of the management, operations and marketing of cultural tourism attractions and resources in a global context. This title presents an analysis of the demand, profiles and motivation of tourists; and an investigation of the transformational and dynamic impacts of technologies on cultural resources and products.
"The impressive collection of authors demonstrates a truly international forum...the thematic approach to cultural tourism makes this book simple and straightforward. Covering a wide range of international destinations and placing theory next to practical examples allows for readers of all backgrounds to gain a better understanding of the role that cultural tourism plays in tourism development today. The book well supports its desire to stimulate debate on the future of cultural tourism by discussing not only the current state of cultural icons in different societies, but the possible changing role that technology will have in the selling and commodification of these icons. Likewise, the book examines how technological advances are changing the way that heritage and culture fit into our worlds, a topic that is increasingly relevant, particularly in developing nations where the affects of such rapid change are so dramatically felt." -Rebekka Goodmana, Department of Geography, University of Exeter, UK
