Description:
Tourism development comes with strings attached. The industry can create income, employment, and wellbeing, but it can also result in environmental, social and political impacts that are considered harmful by some stakeholders. Furthermore, while tourism utilizes places and their existing characteristics, it also generates and modifies spatial identities and representations of destinations and host communities for the industry’s needs. Some of the touristic used od places and place identities are positive or ‘harmful’, while others can be debatable or even conflicting and detrimental in respect to local perceptions, values and identities. This session will focus on the places, spaces and landscapes of tourism and how tourism uses, changes and commodifies its destination spaces and identities. The session welcomes both empirical and conceptual contributions.
