Heritage And Tourism - Place, Encounter, Engagement - Thryft

Engaging exploration of the heritage/tourism connection.

This book would be perfect for those who are interested in understanding the dynamic relationship between heritage sites and the tourists who visit them. With thought-provoking insights and a fresh perspective, Staiff and Bushell delve into the complexities of this interaction, making us question our own role as visitors. Through their well-researched theories, they not only shed light on current practices but also prompt us to reconsider our own behavior and engagement with heritage sites. A must-read for anyone passionate about travel, culture, and the impact of tourism on our shared history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The complex relationship between heritage places and people, in the broadest sense, can be considered dialogic, a communicative act that has implications for both sides of the 'conversation'. This is the starting point for Heritage and Tourism . However, the 'dialogue' between visitors and heritage sites is complex. 'Visitors' have, for many decades, become synonymous with 'tourists' and the tourism industry and so the dialogic relationship between heritage place and tourists has produced a powerful critique of this often contested relationship.Further, at the heart of the dialogic relationship between heritage places and people is the individual experience of heritage where generalities give way to particularities of geography, place and culture, where anxieties about the past and the future mark heritage places as sites of contestation, sites of silences, sites rendered political and ideological, sites powerfully intertwined with representation, sites of the imaginary and the imagined.Under the aegis of the term 'dialogues' the heritage/tourism interaction is reconsidered in ways that encourage reflection about the various communicative acts between heritage places and their visitors and the ways these are currently theorized, so as to either step beyond - where possible - the ontological distinctions between heritage places and tourists or to re-imagine the dialogue or both. Heritage and Tourism is thus an important contribution to understanding the complex relationship between heritage and tourism.
