Description:
This session purports to address research inroads and state-of-the-art insights into the variable interrelationships between landscape and cultural tourism. It is organized as a closed session presenting theoretical and empirical aspects and advances of this scientific area, with an emphasis on European case study examples, based on research carried out in the HORIZON2020 EU Project SPOT (‘Social and Innovative Platform on Cultural Tourism and its Potential towards deepening Europeanisation’). The papers illustrate and elaborate on distinct and critical issues stemming from and revolving around the interface of landscape and cultural tourism, at a time of increasing demand for a variety of broadly accessible tourism/leisure pursuits and activities, as well as concern about sustainable/‘green’ development for the landscape, for the local societies, and for tourism.
The interface between these two broad and interrelated areas of scientific study has lately elicited a variegated and growing body of research in terms of its nature, focus and approach–often consciously signaling multiple and shifting points of view in the context of the leisure economy production and consumption. The (cultural) tourism-landscape interrelationship is increasingly coming into the foreground of current debates about the future of the planet, in conjunction with various human and environmental crises (e.g. economic depressions, climatic change, and the COVID-19 pandemic), which offer significant opportunities but also carry a serious bearing on the realms of both tourism and landscape. In the context of rising rates and globalizing patterns of mobility and consumption, this session responds to the need for renewed, place-specific, and more in-depth scientific investigation into the sites and attractions sought by visitors and into the role of landscape in visitor experiences.
