Landscapes of Tourism

Abstract

In the past decade, as tourism studies have exploded in all directions (scale and scope, subject matter, methods of analysis, theoretical and methodological advances), the landscape has not only assumed a more central role in social perspectives to tourism, it has also increasingly crept into various types of tourism analysis. Drawing increasingly upon cultural perspectives, contemporary approaches to tourism turn to the examination of themes such as corporeality/ materiality, consumption, place identity, heritage, and consumption: all in close connection to landscape. This chapter provides an overview of such trends and advances, with an eye to the past, in terms of incorporating previous inroads, a critical stance towards present debates and discourses and a future outlook, as to where recent and ongoing developments seem to be leading this field of theory and research.
