Tourism, power, and space

About this book

Tourism, Power and Space explores the connectivities and complexities of the relationships between power, tourism and leisure. The volume combines theoretical and empirical writings to illustrate the extent to which power in its various forms and guises, and at various scales of operation, impacts on the unfolding structures, knowledges, practices and organization of tourism and leisure at both the demand and supply sides. The book illustrates the extent to which studies of leisure and tourism by geographers have the ability not only to take ideas from the new economic and cultural geography but also to make a major contribution to human geography as a whole.
