“This is a state-of-the-art book on the value of ethnography in
understanding the complex cultural and economic phenomenon of 21st
century tourism. The approaches discussed in this collection show
that tourism is not the wrecking ball of traditional culture, as
was widely held to be the case in the 1960s and 1970s, and how
ethnographical approaches, which are increasingly collaborative in
this modern and connected world, can provide us with nuanced and
even positive accounts of traditional actors as cultural
strategists. The book is of multi-disciplinary interest in the arts
and social sciences, not least in subjects such as business
management, tourism planning, and marketing.”
