The Tourist City by Dennis R Judd

The Tourist City by Dennis R Judd

An investigation of tourism and its transforming impact on cities, by urban experts from a variety of disciplines. They examine such tourist meccas as Las Vegas, Orlando and Boston, and take up themes such as the marketing of cities and how tourists perceive places.

“Tourism is a major force on this planet, and this extraordinarily timely book will go a long way toward defining subsequent scholarship about it”—John R. Stilgoe, Harvard University

“Does tourist-led development strengthen or distort the local market for jobs and services? Do the attractions that draw outsiders add to residents’ sense of place or undermine its authenticity? Neither pro- nor anti-tourist, the case studies assembled here from around the globe will provide planners and citizens a basis for evaluating their own cities’ futures.”—John Logan, University at Albany, SUNY

"This is an extraordinarily useful and elegantly presented view of the seismic shift to tourist development around the world. Focused case studies show how nature, culture, and history are visualized and interpreted as tourist attractions, translating new patterns of cultural consumption into inequalities of growth."—Sharon Zukin, author of The Culture of Cities
