The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies, 2nd Edition, offers a comprehensive re-evaluation of the recent developments; conceptual, theoretical and empirical debates; and critical issues in this field of study.

Reflecting on and building from its original aim of rethinking geographical approaches to tourism, the volume explores contemporary tourism contexts and concepts, as marked by the present era of polycrises, setting out renewed and reoriented perspectives on tourism geographies into the mid-2020s. Across its diverse range of contributions, the Handbook navigates the complexities of tourism as a shifting construct, situating tourism geographies within the socio-spatial, economic and environmental implications of tourism, leisure and mobilities in the new contexts of global change, ecological transition and digital transformation. The volume aims to provide a nuanced and detailed analysis of established and emerging discourses and debates within tourism geographies, underscoring the field's inherent criticality and ideal positioning for understanding and catalysing complex global and local scenarios in contemporary tourism, leisure and mobilities.

Written by leading scholars in the tourism geographies field, this text is an invaluable resource for students, researchers and scholars working in the areas of tourism, geography and related disciplines, encouraging dialogue across areas of study.

Rezensionen

"Twelve years after the first Handbook, leading researchers from around the world have compiled an impressive update on research trends in tourism geographies. Key geographical concepts such as space, place, environment, sustainability and mobility provide a powerful framework for examining a wide range of issues related to tourism. The innovative and comprehensive approach will help us to imagine a more diverse, socially and environmentally just world of tourism."

Professor Carolin Funck, Hiroshima University, Japan

"Global travel is radically affecting places, people and ecosystems. The new Handbook is not just an update of the original text from 2012, but a comprehensive and much-needed sequel which provides

critically evocative perspectives on tourism-related transformations in the Anthropocene. The editors have curated a compelling collection of original and theoretically novel contributions to uncover the contemporary geographies of tourism and mobilities. This is a much welcome volume pushing the boundaries of tourism social science."

Dr. Szilvia Gyimóthy, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

"This new Handbook of Tourism Geographies delivers a rich, authoritative collection of cutting-edge chapters by leading authors in the field. It provides a contemporary perspective on the development and future of the field and is a must have reference book for researchers, teachers and students of tourism geographies. It will become a classic in its field."

Professor Chris Cooper, School of Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Leeds Beckett University, UK
