This title offers a dynamic understanding of tourism, usually defined in terms of clearly circumscribed places and temporalities, to grasp its changing spatial patterns.
The first part looks at the "befores" - everyday places such as daily markets, flea markets, urban neighbourhoods, that have captured the tourists' interest and have progressively experienced new development in their ordinary patterns. The second part investigates the "afters" - former tourist spaces moving beyond the tourism sphere and becoming places of everyday life, study, or work. Chapters explore what this means for local societies and examine this contemporary phenomenon of former tourist attractions becoming ordinary and everyday, and of ordinary places beginning to take on a tourist dimension. The hybridisation of tourist practices and ordinary practices is also explored through a range of international case studies and examples written by highly regarded and interdisciplinary academics.
This edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students, academics, and researchers in tourism, urban studies, and land use planning.
