This paper proposes an epistemological transition based on Edgar Morin's complexity paradigm to analyse authenticity in a complex tourism environment, avoiding fragmentation, and integrating relevant actors and relationships. The results show that storytelling is an important element of these tourism experiences, legitimising and unifying the authenticity of the
experience and relating objects, social environment and individual experiences. The size of the tour groups and the rigidity of the itinerary were important elements for constructing authenticity. Tourists, service providers and government bodies all directly or indirectly participate
as co-creators, making the perception of authenticity a constant negotiation between the elements of the experience and the actors involved in it.

It considers the emergence of new forms of tourism, such as creative tourism and analyses the major trends that are likely to have an impact on the relationship between tourism and culture in the future.

Backpackers are to be found in every corner of the globe, from remote villages in the Hindu Kush to the centres of London or Paris. They carry with them not only their emblematic physical baggage that gives them their name, but their cultural baggage as well. Their path is scattered with the trappings of the backpacker culture – banana pancakes, bars with ‘video nights’ and cheap hostels. This paper reviews the empirical evidence relating to backpacking generated by the New Horizons research programme of the World Student Youth Education Travel Confederation (WYSETC).

The survey, conducted in 2002, covers the profile and travel behaviour of 1,630 students booking travel from student travel organisations in eight countries. This article reports the initial results of this research. The survey showed that students are frequent travel consumers with extensive previous experience of relatively long trips outside of their own world region. Most students see their travelstyle as that of 'traveller', but a significant proportion of the market characterised their travel as 'backpacking'. Motivations reflecting a desire for experience are prevalent with student travellers; particularly in terms of exploring other cultures. Motivations tend to be differentiated by destination region and travelstyle and are distinct between students and other young travellers. In spite of these differences in motivation, however, the activities actually engaged in showed little differentiation between students and others. The most frequently mentioned activities were visiting historical sites, walking, sitting in cafes and restaurants and shopping, which were practiced by over 70% of respondents. In this and other respects, the article argues that comparisons of motivation and actual activities indicate a gap between the ideology and practice of travel.

Processes of globalisation, economic restructuring and urban redevelopment have placed events at the centre of strategies for change in cities. Events offer the potential to achieve economic, social, cultural and environmental aims within broader urban development strategies.
Eventful Cities: cultural management and urban revitalisation aims to analyse the process of cultural event development, management and marketing, and link these processes to their wider cultural, social and economic context. The book provides a unique blend of practical and academic analysis, centred partly on the case study of the European Capitals of Culture (ECOC) over the past 20 years and also on a selection of major festivals and cities where 'the event' has had an important element of development strategy. Cases will include:
ECOC analysed - Glasgow, Brussels, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Lille, Cork, Bruges, Porto, Rotterdam, Santiago, Prague, Cracow, Bologna, Thessaloniki, Weimar, Lisbon, Dublin, Salamanca, Genoa and Graz. In addition, the development of the Cultural Capital concept worldwide will also be used to provide examples from Canada (Vancouver), Chile (Sanitago de Chile), and the USA (Austin). However, a range of other events from different locations and cultural contexts will also be employed to provide comparison and contrast with the ECOC, including Montreal, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Barcelona as festival cities, the First Night events in North America (Boston, Charleston, Toronto), The Fete de la Musique in France and other countries, the Cultural Olympiads held alongside the Olympic Games (e.g. Barcelona, Sydney, Athens), Carnivals in Trinidad, Rio de Janeiro and London, Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Sydney and gastronomic and cultural festivals in Singapore and Thailand.
Eventful Cities: cultural management and urban revitalisation provides the reader with the chance to appreciate the use and limitations of theoretical perspectives as well as the links between theory and practice. Critical success factors are identified which can help to guide other cities and regions in their strategic development. It is essential reading for any student or practitioner involved in event management, cultural management, arts administration, urban studies, cultural studies and tourism.

Culture and creative industries are increasingly being used to promote destinations and enhance their competitiveness and attractiveness. Many locations are now actively developing their tangible and intangible cultural assets as a means of developing comparative advantages in an increasingly competitive tourism marketplace, and to create local distinctiveness in the face of globalisation.
The Impact of Culture on Tourism examines the growing relationship between tourism and culture, and the way in which they have together become major drivers of destination attractiveness and competitiveness. Based on recent case studies that illustrate the different facets of the relationship between tourism, culture and regional attractiveness, and the policy interventions which can be taken to enhance the relationship, this publication shows how a strong link between tourism and culture can be fostered to help places become more attractive to tourists, as well as increasing their competitiveness as locations to live, visit, work and invest in.
The book is essential reading for academics, national and local policy makers and practitioners and all those in the tourism sector who wish to understand the relationship between culture, tourism and destination attractiveness."

O desejo pelo “turismo de qualidade”, a necessidade de encontrar recursos para apoiar a cultura e a pronta disponibilidade de recursos culturais torna o turismo cultural uma opção atrativa, tanto para áreas urbanas quanto para rurais. A despeito disso, há ainda pouca compreensão sobre o que seja o turismo cultural, bem como pouca informação sobre o mercado desse tipo de turismo.
Esse capítulo procura apresentar um panorama do turismo cultural, a natureza do fenômeno, o perfil de seus participantes e as implicações do desenvolvimento do turismo cultural relativamente a destinos, particularmente, no futuro. A maior parte da informação contida nesse capítulo é baseada em pesquisa empreendida desde 1991 no âmbito do Projeto de Pesquisa de Turismo Cultural da Association for Tourism and Leisure Education (ATLAS). O programa de pesquisa começou como uma iniciativa européia, mas tem, desde então, expandido seu escopo, para cobrir o mercado de turismo no mundo. Podem ser encontradas mais informações sobre essa pesquisa em publicações anteriores (Richards 1996, 2001).

However, there is a dearth of empirical studies on this issue, and most research tends to focus on the attitudes of either the ‘residents’ or ‘visitors’ to festivals. This paper examines the views of cultural producers, local residents and visitors to a traditional cultural event in Barcelona, Spain. Although ‘locals’ and ‘visitors’ both tend to view the event as ‘authentic’ and its cultural content as ‘local’, significant differences were found. Residents tend to have a constructive view of authenticity linked to cultural and social references, whereas visitors employ a more existential view of authenticity related to their enjoyment of the event and experience of difference. Significant differences were also found between different visitor groups and between different groups of residents, suggesting the need for more sophisticated analysis of the consumption of cultural festivals and its effects.

Richards and Duif (2019) suggest that smaller places can succeed if they collaborate rather than compete, enabling them to ‘borrow size’ to stimulate development. By collaborating, small cities also have opportunities to ‘create size’ through joint actions. This chapter focusses on the role of events in generating creative development powered by the ‘Middleground’ of the creative city, and highlights the effects of networking across regional and international borders. A review of traditional creative industries, creative class and creative city approaches leads to an integrative creative development model based on the work of Sacco et al. (2014) and the placemaking perspective of Richards (2020). This model analyses the different layers of the creative city proposed by Cohendet et al. (2010), integrating different forms of creative capital and accounting for the dynamic links between actors and institutions. These ideas are applied to cases from the Netherlands and Luxemburg, with a particular focus on cross-border collaboration stimulated through the European Capital of Culture programme.

It considers the growth of expert, algorithmic, social and co-creative curation modes and their effects.
Design/methodology/approach-Narrative and integrative reviews of literature on curation and tourism and hospitality are used to develop a typology of curation and identify different curation modes.
Findings-Curational techniques are increasingly used to organise experience supply and distribution in mainstream fields, including media, retailing and fashion. In tourism and hospitality, curated tourism, curated hospitality brands and food offerings and place curation by destination marketing organisations are growing. Curation is undertaken by experts, algorithms and social groups and involves many of destination-related actors, producing a trend towards "hybrid curation" of places.
Research limitations/implications-Research is needed on different forms of curation, their differential effects and the power roles of different curational modes.
Practical implications-Curation is a widespread intermediary function in tourism and hospitality, supporting better consumer choice. New curators influence experience supply and the distribution of consumer attention, shaping markets and co-creative activities. Increased curatorial activity should stimulate aesthetic and stylistic innovation and provide the basis for storytelling and narrative in tourism and hospitality.
Originality/value-This is the first study of curational strategies in tourism and hospitality, providing a definition and typology of curation, and linking micro and macro levels of analysis. It suggests the growth of choice-based logic alongside service-dominant logic in tourism and hospitality.

Placemaking has become an important tool for driving urban development that is sensitive to the needs of communities. This volume examines the development of creative placemaking practices that can help to link small cities to external networks, stimulate collaboration and help them make the most of the opportunities presented by the knowledge economy. The authors argue that the adoption of more strategic, holistic placemaking strategies that engage all stakeholders can be a successful alternative to copying bigger places. Drawing on a range of examples from around the world, they analyse small city development strategies and identify key success factors.
This book focuses on the case of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, a small Dutch city that used cultural programming to link itself to global networks and stimulate economic, cultural, social and creative development. It advocates the use of cultural programming strategies as a more flexible alternative to traditional top-down planning approaches and as a means of avoiding copying the big city.
debates and controversies in this field of Tourism. It brings together leading specialists from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geographical regions, to provide state-of the-art theoretical reflection and empirical research on this significant stream of tourism and its future direction. The book is divided into seven inter-related sections.
Part I looks at the historical, philosophical and theoretical framework for cultural
tourism. This section debates tourist autonomy role play, authenticity, imaginaries,
cross-cultural issues and inter-disciplinarity. Part II analyses the role that politics takes in cultural tourism. This section also looks at ways in which cultural tourism is used as a policy instrument for economic development. Part III focuses on social patterns and trends, such as the mobilities paradigm, performativity, reflexivity and traditional hospitality, as well as considering sensitive social issues such as dark tourism.
Part IV analyses community and development, exploring adaptive forms of cultural tourism, as
well as more sustainable models for indigenous tourism development. Part V discusses
landscapes and destinations, including the transformation of space into place, issues
of authenticity in landscape, the transformation of urban and rural landscapes into
tourism products, and conservation versus development dilemmas. Part VI refers to
regeneration and planning, especially the creative turn in cultural tourism, which can be
used to avoid problems of serial reproduction, standardisation and homogenisation.
Part VII deals with the tourist and visitor experience, emphasising the desire of tourists
to be more actively and interactively engaged in cultural tourism. This significant
volume offers the reader a comprehensive synthesis of this field, conveying the latest
thinking and research.
The text is international in focus, encouraging dialogue across disciplinary boundaries
and areas of study and will be an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in
cultural tourism. This is essential reading for students, researchers and academics of
Tourism as well as those of related studies, in particular Cultural Studies, Leisure,
Geography, Sociology, Politics and Economics.
This book is a unique introduction to the world of cultural tourism, summarised in ten easy to understand models. Each model is accompanied by an explanation, and each is also applied to a specific context. The text covers a wide range of examples, which also go beyond the usual Anglo-Saxon approaches. Text in French and English versions.
promoting sustainable and quality tourism in Europe; and to analyse to what extent Cultural Routes networks can benefit SMEs, especially in rural areas and less-known destinations.
The main expected outcomes from the study were to:
– identify key actors currently involved in Cultural Routes;
– understand the benefits and disadvantages of their environments (especially in the context of the current economic conditions);
– estimate the potential of Cultural Routes, their needs and concerns on the way to sustainable development; and
– to establish links with different levels of authority – local, national and
European – financial and governmental institutions, tourist organisations, and other bodies that would encourage future development of the Routes.
turistas, lo que complica la definición del turismo cultural. Dado que todas las actividades turísticas incluyen algún elemento cultural, ya sea visitar un lugar o evento cultural específico, o simplemente “absorber la atmósfera” de un destino desde la terraza de una cafetería, es fácil caer en la tentación de considerar todo el turismo como “turismo cultural”.
Éste fue esencialmente el enfoque de la OMT y la UNESCO al elaborar su definición “amplia” de turismo cultural en 1985, que incluye “todos los movimientos de las personas (…) porque satisfacen la necesidad humana de diversidad, aumentando el nivel cultural del individuo y brindando la oportunidad de acceder a nuevos conocimientos, experiencias y encuentros” (OMT, 1985).
collective identity and sense of belonging, leads to imbalances that can
accentuate inequalities within and between cities, affecting all dimensions
of sustainable development. Lisbon (Portugal) is resolving this conflict
creatively with an inclusive and rights-based approach, which can be
inspiring for cities that are starting to plan or reorienting development
strategies linked to culture and tourism. The city is implementing a
strategy focused on improving the experience of visitors and the quality
of life of inhabitants, as well as the sustainability of the city’s cultural
system, heavily hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Measures emphasize
the role of cultural actors and sectors in empowering plural and caring
communities, boosting access and engagement, tackling inequalities and
building the capacities to shape a new future in the shared city. Among
those measures, “Lojas com História” stands out as a project that addresses the conservation and revitalization of urban spaces that significantly contribute to the cultural and economic development of Lisbon.

O propósito deste estudo é discutir a noção dos laboratórios de inovação enquanto uma plataforma para o desenvolvimento turístico de
cidades com interesse no turismo criativo. A revisão de literatura contemplou aspectos conceituais dos laboratórios de inovação e do turismo criativo, propondo as interrelações entre os conceitos. Como métodos, utilizou-se a técnica de revisão de narrativas, a partir de fontes
bibliográficas, documentais e entrevista. Como resultados, tem-se que autorização, financiamento, eixos de atuação, caracterização,
comunicação e objetivos são elementos importantes para a constituição de laboratórios de inovação no turismo, e que estes espaços
contribuem para o fomento da cultura e de negócios locais, bem como estimula o turismo de experiência pelo potencial criativo da
comunidade e dos visitantes. Os resultados são voltados para os atores envolvidos na atividade turística, inclusive policymakers, ao
demonstrar o potencial dos laboratórios de inovação no contexto do turismo criativo, a partir de ilustrações empíricas, em que a cooperação
e a experimentação contribuem para o desenvolvimento turístico de cidades mais inclusivas e resilientes.

CREATIVE TOURISM AND INNOVATION LABORATORIES FOR TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN THE POST-PANDEMIC CONTEXT:
EVIDENCE AND REFLECTIONS
The purpose of this study is to discuss the notion of innovation laboratories as a platform for tourism development in cities with a focus on creative tourism. The literature review contemplates conceptual aspects of innovation laboratories and creative tourism, proposing the
interrelationships between the concepts. The narrative review technique was used as method, based on bibliographical and documental
sources as well as an interview. As results, authorization, financing, lines of action, characterization, communication, and objectives are
important elements for the constitution of innovation laboratories in tourism, and these spaces have shown contributions fostering local
culture and business. In addition, to stimulate experience tourism from the community's and visitors' creative potential. The results are to the
actors involved in tourism activity, including policymakers, by demonstrating the potential of innovation laboratories in the context of creative tourism, based on empirical illustrations, in which cooperation and experimentation contribute to the tourism development of more inclusive
and resilient cities.
Creativity as a policy solution in Governance is the theme of this panel organized by the International Network of the UNESCO Chair in Creative Economy and Public Policies based in Brazil connected with an international network of Universities around the World. We also welcome papers focused on public policies developed under alternative economic models, such as: the Economy of Francesco (Resende and Piergallini, 2022), Green Economy, Circular Economy, Solidarity Economy, Economy of Communion (Bruni and Zamagni, 2004). Since 2004, the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) fosters an international network of Creative Cities (Emmendoerfer et al., 2018). Among UNESCO governance practices is the analysis of a series of indicators to highlight cities that meet the criteria of good creative practices and vocation in socioeconomic segments tied to creative industries. The UNESCO Chairs Programme promotes inter-university cooperation and networking to address pressing challenges and to contribute to the development of societies. Guy Peters (1998) refers to "coordination" and "horizontal government" as terms to ensure that private and public organizations working together in harmony without producing redundancy to deliver public policies. According Peters (1998) the government is less popular than in the past which leads to "a number of forces appear to be driving governments to search for better ways to coordinate their activities in order to create better, more efficient, and more "user friendly" public services". In these contexts, alternative economic models such as Creative Economic Public Policies and Pope Francis' Economy of Francesco movement to incentivize "Policies for Happiness" should be looked closely by researchers as innovation and tendency in the Public Policy field.

In a general sense, everyone is thinking “what’s next?” In this moment of transition, what about the future of small-scale and community-based creative tourism? How can we work collectively to move forward together?
Although the existing challenges of small-scale creative tourism continue, these days, we are noticing many references to “community-based tourism”, “regenerative tourism”, “people-centred tourism”, and “transformative tourism” – as well as “proximity tourism”. We are hopeful that creative tourism can be viable and attractive in a post-Covid-19 tourism/travel world, for both domestic and international travelers – as well as for the hosting communities.
This is the first “global conversation” webinar within the umbrella of CREATOUR International, an informal network to further knowledge exchange and capacity-building among creative tourism researchers and small-scale practitioners internationally. It aims to build closer research–practice relations through providing a platform for sharing experiences, practice-based knowledge, and insights from research; articulating and discussing issues and solutions; and learning from one another to inform the growing field of creative tourism internationally. CREATOUR International builds upon the numerous international connections made through CREATOUR’s conferences and other activities, emails, online conversations, participation in events, and the relationships formed in the course of producing publications. CREATOUR International aims to further both research and practice in the field of creative tourism, with special attention to initiatives in smaller places, and to foster and inform progressive connections between culture, tourism, and holistic local development.
tourism. With travel bans in place worldwide,
the idea of tourism as an almost natural part
of leisure is being re-assessed. There is little
doubt that post-pandemic tourism will look
different. In particular, one might expect challenges
for forms of tourism based on close
personal contact, such as creative tourism.
This paper considers the impact of Covid-19
on creative tourism and outlines how it might
develop in future. Do we want a return to
old fashioned mass tourism, or should we be
seeking to develop alternative scenarios for
the future?
This paper considers the relationship between urban events and urban public space, asking whether cities have enough space for events, and whether events have enough space in cities.
Design/methodology/approach: Policy analysis surrounding events and festivals in the Netherlands is used to understand the dynamics of urban events, supported by content analysis of policy documents. A vignette of event space struggles in Amsterdam illustrates the contradictions of the event/space relationship.
Findings: The research identifies a policy shift in the Netherlands towards urban events from expansive, festivalisation strategies to defensive, NIMBYist policies. It exposes contradictions between protecting space as a living resource and the exploitation of space for regenerative purposes. Three future scenarios for urban events are outlined: conflict and competition, growth and harmony and digitalisation and virtualisation.
Originality: Provides an analysis of the recursive spatial implications of the growth of the events sector for cities and the growth of cities for events.
This research project aims to examine the potential effects of the digital shift in leisure events by addressing the following questions:
•How does the experience of digital leisure events differ from physical leisure events?
•How do outcomes such as emotional energy and social bonding differ between digital and physical event formats?
•How can digital leisure events be best designed to maximise their potential contribution to quality of life, including individual identity, social justice, civic engagement, etc.?
•What future challenges do leisure events face as a result of the digital shift?
This summary of activities during the project concentrates on the development of a scale to measure event experiences in physical, digital and hybrid settings. It includes a literature review of previous work on the experiences of events in different settings, analysis of data collected from physical, digital and hybrid events, and the development of a new scale to measure event experiences in different settings.
Experiences: Measurement and Meaning’. It reviews the research
conducted by the ATLAS Event Group over the past decade, and
highlights the interplay between qualitative and quantitative
research on events during this period. Major research themes
related to the event experience are analyzed, including the social
dimension of events, event design, visitor engagement, eventful
cities and event networks and platforms. The different quantative
and qualitative contributions to the issue are introduced and
compared.
Rise of Gastronomic "Tribes".
La voglia di esplorare, scoprire e muoversi è ancora ben radicata in ognuno di noi nonostante i letargici mesi di pandemia. I viaggi con "voli a due corsie" verso mete esotiche sono immaginari prematuri e per chi ha la dipendenza da "scoperta" rimane il turismo di prossimità-non sottovalutabile in Italia-. Un esempio è proprio quello che viene definito "turismo brassicolo"-o della birra-, un fenomeno in grado di rilanciare più settori: da quello turistico a quello agricolo. Greg Richards-professore all'Università di Breda-scrive all'interno del focus "I Paesaggi della birra"-Rapporto sul Turismo Enogastronomico 2021 della dott.ssa Roberta Garibaldi-: "Non si tratta di una nicchia di mercato, bensì di un target potenzialmente interessante per le destinazioni, anche alla luce del fatto che questi turisti spesso abbinano attività a carattere culturale e non, mostrando quindi un comportamento eclettico". Richards si riferisce soprattutto all'esplosione del fenomeno avvenuto non solo negli Stati Uniti e Regno Unito-dove la birra artigianale è un'eccellenza da decenni-ma anche in Australia e America Latina. "Questo fenomeno" continua Richards "ha visto crescere rapidamente eventi e festival a tema brassicolo, itinerari tematici e attività per turisti nei birrifici» sicuramente con ampi benefici per il territorio circostante.
Design/methodology/approach: We develop a literature review of papers in specialist journals and the SCOPUS database to identify major research themes and the evolution of experience and gastronomic experience research.
Findings: Gastronomy is an increasingly important element of tourism experiences. Gastronomic experience research in tourism mirrors the evolution in management and marketing theory from rational information processing approaches to emotional and hedonistic approaches and analysis of relationality and co-creation. We sketch a development from Experience 1.0 (producer-orientated) to Experience 2.0 (co-creation) to Experience 3.0 (foodscapes) in gastronomic experiences in tourism research.
Research implications: Increasing complexity of gastronomic experiences requires a more holistic analytic approach, including more attention for relational and co-creational processes. Linking together different experience elements and experience phases requires more holistic and contextual research approaches.
Practical implications: Hospitality organizations should recognize the differentiated and complex nature of gastronomic experiences, the different touchpoints within the customer journey and their relationship to experience outcomes. The development of hybrid gastronomic experiences offers both opportunities and challenges for the future.
Originality: This quantitative and qualitative literature analysis underlines the need for a more holistic approach to gastronomic experiences, covering different experiential phases and contexts of production and consumption.
Little is known about how tourists’ eating habits change between everyday life and on holidays. This study identifies market segments based on changes in food consumption and experiences of a sun-and-sea destination’s local food. We evaluate to what extent tourists consume local food and assess the contribution of local food experiences to the tourists’ overall experience.
Design/methodology/approach
The target population was all tourists visiting the Algarve in the Summer 2018 and included both domestic and international sun-and-sea tourists. A sample of 378 valid questionnaires was collected. Data analysis included descriptive analysis, statistical tests, and cluster analysis.
Findings
Cluster analysis identified three segments: non-foodies, selective foodies and local gastronomy foodies. Results indicate that tourists change their eating habits on holidays, eating significantly more seafood and fish and less legumes, meat, fast food and cereals and their derivatives. International and domestic sun-and-sea tourists reported that eating local food contributes significantly to their overall tourism experience.
Originality
We address three identified research gaps: a posteriori segmentation based on tourists’ food consumption behaviour; measurement of changes in eating practices between home and in a sun-and-sea destination; and assessment of the role of food experiences to overall tourism experience of tourists visiting a sun-and-sea destination.
Practical implications
Sun-and-sea destinations should promote the offer of local dishes, especially those that include locally produced fish and seafood, to improve the tourist experience, differentiate the destination and increase sustainability.
omy has shifted from being a peripheral concern for destinations to being one of the major reasons
for some tourists to visit. This review article analyses the causes of this shift, both in terms of the
changing social position of gastronomy and in the context of the emerging experience economy. In
particular, three moments of experience production are seen as marking stages in the development
of the relationship between gastronomy and tourism: the first generation of gastronomic experiences
based on the production of themed experiences for consumers; the second generation of experiences
cocreated by producers and consumers; and the third generation of gastronomic experiences related
to the development of communities around gastronomy and food. In this process a shift is observed
from the taste patterns of individual “foodies” to the development of entire foodscapes.

the postmodern ‘new world order of mobility’. Society as a whole is
becoming more restless and mobile, in contrast to the relatively rigid
patterns of modernity. One of the cultural symbols of this increasingly
mobile world is the backpacker. Backpackers are to be found in every
corner of the globe, from remote villages in the Hindu Kush to the centres of London or Paris. They carry with them not only the emblematic physical baggage that gives them their name, but their cultural baggage as well. Their path is scattered with the trappings of the backpacker culture – banana pancakes, bars with ‘video nights’ and cheap hostels (Iyer, 1988). The questions that this book sets out to examine are why do so many people become ‘global nomads’, what do they gain from their travel, and what impact do they have on the places they visit? The varied contributions to this debate analyse both the theoretical implications of the backpacker phenomenon and the practical implications that it has for tourist destinations, local communities and policy makers.

desarrollo. A medida que madura la industria, existen más estudios
disponibles para ayudar a identificar las motivaciones, necesidades y
comportamientos de los viajeros jóvenes y de la industria orientada a
los mismos. Del estudio realizado por la WYSE Travel Confederation y la
OMT se desprende claramente que el turismo de jóvenes ha evolucionado
enormemente desde sus comienzos, ya que se ha convertido en un
sector turístico especializado.
El valor social, cultural y económico de los viajes educativos, de jóvenes
y de estudiantes está cada vez reconocido por los empleadores,
instituciones educativas, organizaciones oficiales de turismo y gobiernos
en todo el mundo. Más que cualquier otro segmento del mercado, los
estudiantes y viajeros jóvenes están impulsando la innovación y allanando
el camino para el turismo responsable, al asumir la responsabilidad de
los efectos de sus ambiciones turísticas en el cambio climático. Estos
efectos múltiples y distintivos del turismo de jóvenes tienen mucha más
relevancia para el programa turístico mundial, y los gobiernos de todo el
mundo participan de una manera cada vez más activa en la elaboración
de políticas y productos y campañas de márketing.
Sin embargo, se puede hacer mucho más. La WYSE Travel Confederation
y la OMT están convencidas de que los gobiernos, las organizaciones
oficiales de turismo y los dirigentes empresariales tienen ante sí una
gran oportunidad de reforzar su compromiso con el turismo de jóvenes,
lo cual beneficiará en términos económicos y sociales a sus políticas y
estrategias de turismo a largo plazo.
En el presente informe examinamos los aspectos económicos, sociales
y culturales del turismo de jóvenes. Comenzamos analizando por qué el
turismo de jóvenes es importante para el futuro del turismo. Estudiamos
los beneficios económicos, sociales y culturales, y proponemos un
plan a las partes interesadas para desarrollar el turismo de jóvenes,
inclusive las organizaciones oficiales de turismo y los gobiernos. El
informe concluye con una selección de estudios de caso inspiradores
que ilustran la fuerza del turismo joven.
O DESAFIO DA COVID-19 PARA AS VIAGENS DOS JOVENS
Resumo Este documento analisa os efeitos dos primeiros sete meses da pandemia de Covid-19 sobre as viagens dos jovens. Pesquisas com empresas de viagens juvenis entre março e setembro de 2020 mostraram que as empresas de turismo juvenil foram severamente afetadas, com uma queda de 26% no volume de negócios no primeiro trimestre de 2020 caindo para-70% até maio de 2020. As perspectivas de negócios para o ano 2020 foram terríveis e mais de 80% das empresas esperavam que suas perspectivas de negócios piorassem durante o próximo ano. Os efeitos da pandemia foram sentidos em todas as regiões do mundo e em quase todos os setores industriais. As empresas de viagens juvenis adotaram uma série de medidas táticas e estratégicas em resposta à crise, incluindo a mudança dos termos e condições, aumento do marketing, criação de parcerias e mudança de negócios on-line. Como as viagens dos jovens dependem da interação social, há grandes desafios para a indústria no futuro, mas também uma série de oportunidades potenciais, tais como o crescimento das viagens domésticas e a ascensão dos nômades digitais. Palavras-chave: Coronavírus / Covid-19; Crise; Impactos nos negócios; Viagens de jovens; Nômades digitais.
EL RETO DE COVID-19 PARA LOS VIAJES DE LOS JÓVENES Resumen Este documento analiza los efectos de los primeros siete meses de la pandemia de Covid-19 en los viajes de los jóvenes. Las encuestas realizadas a las empresas de viajes para jóvenes entre marzo y septiembre de 2020 mostraron que las empresas de turismo juvenil se vieron gravemente afectadas, con una caída del 26% en el volumen de negocio en el primer trimestre de 2020, que se redujo hasta el-70% en mayo de 2020. Las perspectivas de negocio para el año 2020 eran nefastas y más del 80% de las empresas esperaban que sus perspectivas de negocio empeoraran durante el próximo año. Los efectos de la pandemia se hicieron sentir en todas las regiones del mundo y en casi todos los sectores de la industria. Las empresas de viajes para jóvenes adoptaron una serie de medidas tácticas y estratégicas en respuesta a la crisis, entre las que se incluyen la modificación de las condiciones, el aumento de la comercialización, la creación de asociaciones y el cambio del negocio en línea. Dado que los viajes de los jóvenes dependen de la interacción social, el sector se enfrenta a grandes retos en el futuro, pero también a una serie de oportunidades potenciales, como el crecimiento de los viajes nacionales y el aumento de los nómadas digitales.

technological capabilities, are we going to have
more and more processes performed by robots?
A bed-making machine for hotels? Or will the
desperate need for workers also open our
eyes to the fact that there is a large untapped
potential and therefore a more inclusive labour
market in which everyone participates becomes
a reality? In order to become carbon neutral,
will we see more cities banning large events
or will this sector succeed in becoming fully
circular or perhaps even regenerative, creating
space to host more events to save our world.
Will competition for space put pressure on
leisure facilities or will increasing density in
cities intensify the need for a 15-minute city?
The point is not so much to predict all this but to
recognise the circumstances and developments
under which this may happen. Which direction
is desirable? How should we deal with such
developments? What alternatives exist? And
how to design our leisure infrastructure from
that context?
The leisure sector (sports, events, cultural organizations) has been hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis. In the past, the sector has shown flexibility and adaptability in other crises. To what extent do you expect these sectors to be sufficiently resilient now? Previous crises were mainly economic in nature. The problem is that this crisis is also affecting our health and we don't know exactly how the situation will develop. Everyone is waiting for a new normality to emerge. In the meantime, the sector is adapting to the necessity of the moment. And that is initially no different from previous responses, such as looking at new business models and doing more with less. But they do not know how long it will take. It is not like in a recession when you know things will recover after a few years. Nevertheless, are there lessons from the past that we can take with us? Somewhat. The need for flexibility and the need to try to retain customers have shown to be important in the past. But it is precisely the contact with customers that is under pressure in the current crisis. Fortunately, you already see creative solutions to adapt the service to the new situation, such as transforming the Nieuwemarkt in Amsterdam into an open air leisure area or the range of numerous online experiences. Fortunately, most entrepreneurs in the leisure sector are good at adapting. At least in the sense of practical things such as keeping your distance and taking safety measures. People are used to dealing with rules. Yet this situation is different. You can make all kinds of physical changes in the short term, but you don't know how the psychology of the client will develop in the future. Are we going back to the old habits or are people going to structurally change their consumption patterns? If there is no new outbreak, people will probably get over it pretty quickly. For example, in terrorist attacks, few or no tourists visit the site where a bomb exploded for three months, but then it quickly picks up again. The chances are slim that an attack will take place in the same place a second time, also in view of the increased security measures. However, in the current situation you always run the risk of a second outbreak. Everyone is potentially a vital danger, even your own family. There are no guarantees. In the beginning, you saw the impulse to keep foreigners out to keep ourselves safe. However, that lasted a short time. The problem is that it is very unpredictable. From a different perspective. Leisure actually says it all, the time to spend freely. But we have to deal with more rules and restrictions. What does this do to the conceptualization of leisure? Should we introduce a greater diversity in types of leisure? Or perhaps a completely new perspective on the optimal leisure experience will emerge? Those are interesting questions indeed. It was the first time in a long time that large-scale leisure time outdoors simply did not exist for a while. You were not allowed to go outside, travel, do physical activities with friends. A unique situation. What you see then is that people start to miss their leisure time and find substitutes via all kinds of (digital) channels and make up excuses to be allowed to go outside, such as borrowing the neighbour's dog. Suddenly, the leisure time experience is completely different. It is difficult to say whether a new standard for the optimal leisure experience will arise. That will also be differentiated. There will be people who want to stay away from the city and seek out nature and the countryside more. The elderly and people with health problems, for example, will try to stay away from others. While young people who have been at home for two months now want to party and go to the beach.
This new Uncover showcases successful international projects, points out the value of international networks as catalysts facilitating exchange and dialogue, and contains personal stories of students, lecturers, support staff and researchers who use their own narratives to make sense of the value of being and moving within an international context.
The positive experiences and learning effects from intercultural encounters are too valuable to exclude anyone and you can read in Uncover this can be achieved both abroad as at home on campus.
There is also a special focus on the World Leisure Organisation and their World Leisure Centres of Expertise, already looking ahead to next year, when the 18th World Leisure Congress will take place in Breda.

The first part of this report therefore sets out to understand what is meant by the phrase 'medical tourism'. Subsequent sections of the report examine the dynamics, structure and value of the medical tourism market and seek to identify the destinations and origin countries where the major markets lie. In total, over 50 countries are included in this first attempt to analyse the global medical tourism market.
Abstract
Geographers have long pondered the role of tourism in producing and shaping space. The description of resort geographies popular in the 1980s and 1990s has gradually given way to the current vogue for place-making and place marketing, re-centering geography in the tourism field. More recently, however, the rise of the sharing economy and 'relational tourism' has caused researchers to look beyond the construction and consumption of place and to delve into the co-creation of localities between tourists and residents. These shorter and longer-term 'locals' increasingly find each other without the intervention of the traditional tourism industry, giving rise to whole new fields of economic, cultural and social exchange. The growth of companies such as Couchsurfing, Airbnb and Uber not only represents a challenge to traditional views of tourism, but is also reshaping the localities inhabited by tourists. This analysis examines the consequences of the new localities of tourism and they ways in which this might affect the future of tourism itself.
Tourism as a social practice has undergone radical change, moving away from a vertical Fordist production system towards a much more disperse nexus comprising the production and consumption of experiences. A combination of the desire of tourists to live like locals and the desire of locals to become producers of tourist experiences has driven a new trend for ‘living like a local’. This demand is met by a variety of products and experiences offered from the top down. The meanings associated with the practice of tourism have also changed as more people have become tourists and many of us have become involved in the tourism industry.
This research builds on earlier work on the Event Experience Scale (EES, de Geus et al., 2016)) as well as research on the multi-phasic nature of event experiences (Geurtsen, M. (2014). The Multi-Phase Nature of Event and Festival Experiences. Tilburg: Tilburg University.).
The papers presented in the track dealt with a number of key themes, including the relationship between networks and identity, the role of event networks in community building, the social effects of event platforms, cities as platforms for events, industry-based event platforms and the relationship between online and offline networks.
For this special issue of the Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure and Events we would like to invite papers that explicitly explore the way in which visitors experience events, through the collection of quantitative or qualitative data, or a combination of the two.

The book studies the use of space – public, private and communal – for cultural activity and expression is of primary importance to any city that aspires to engage its citizens in processes of civic and artistic creativity. Valletta’s title as European Capital of Culture 2018 encourages a critical reflection on this issue, examining the various cultural practices undertaken by the local communities and raising questions on how these activities are mediated and negotiated through a city’s space and cultural infrastructure.
Prof. Vicki Ann Cremona, the Editor of this book, stated that the book forms part of the University of Malta’s contribution to the European Capital of Culture title. She described the book as “a series of multidisciplinary studies focusing on the public sphere. On the one hand, it discusses the social aspect and looks at democratisation, public involvement, participation, and accessibility. On the other hand, it examines governance with regard to Local Councils and infrastructures such as libraries and theatres.”

This is a central resource for researchers and students of Sociology, Cultural Geography, and Urban Studies.
From the review by Katherine Nesse (2018):
As a course text, it is appropriate for advanced students
already well acquainted with urban theory and in courses
where the readings can be paired with readings from other
sources to give the issues more context. It is a welcome addition
to the urban studies curriculum and appropriate reading
for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who
want to think deeply about wicked problems. The depth of
the readings and the number of them make it unlikely that a
class would discuss the entire book in one term. However, it
is an essential addition to a library’s urban studies collection.
It expands the conversation about cities, draws in new ideas
and perspectives, and is a valuable reference for elaborating
new directions in urban studies.
Barcelona is an interesting case because of its phenomenal growth in recent decades. Having developed cultural ‘icons’ such as Picasso, Gaudi and Miro into ‘must see’ attractions for millions of tourists, cracks began to occur as the number of tourist overnights rose from 3.7 million in 1990 to over 17 million in 2014. The growth of tourism has had a positive economic impact, with expenditure of over 20 million euros a day in the city (Barcelona Treball, 2013). This is the reason why the sector has strong political and also popular support, with over 90% of citizens seeing tourism as beneficial for the city (Richards, 2015).
However, for over a decade, critical notes have been sounded over the economic growth machine connected to tourism. A wide range of negative effects, such as overcrowding, noise, litter, inappropriate behaviour and gentrification have been identified (Ajuntament de Barcelona, 2005). There is a division of opinions on the growth of tourism, largely split between those with a direct economic interest in tourism and civic organisations and intellectuals on the other. This debate has intensified in the last five years thanks to a significant change in the tourism model in the direction of the ‘sharing economy’. The growing supply of tourist apartments and Airbnb accommodation has created a new model of ‘tourism without development’ (Russo and Richards, 2016), which is also increasingly difficult to regulate and control. The problem is that having reached the limits of expansion via traditional models of tourism production and consumption, Barcelona is experiencing a new wave of expansion based on the consumption of ‘normal life’, everyday spaces and mundane experiences. The penetration of new intermediaries such as Airbnb supports a new definition of attractiveness that inverts the ‘normal’ tourism semiotic, with the tourists invited to be ‘at home’ when away. Tourism has changed from a relatively separate social sphere into one that is increasingly integrated into the everyday life of the destination. Tourists not only seek the high cultural authenticity of major cultural sites, they also want to experience ‘living like a local’.
In the face of these new challenges, the city has taken increasingly stringent measures to try and reassert social and regulatory control of tourism. These include new civic codes relating to behaviour in public spaces, pricing mechanisms at ‘honeypot’ attractions, marketing campaigns to spread tourism into different areas of the city and most recent a moratorium on all new tourist accommodation.
This presentation examines the sustainability of tourism in Barcelona and identifies potential lessons for Venice.
