Cover of John K. Walton: Histories of Tourism (PDF)

This collection of essays develops the historical dimension to tourism studies through thematic case studies. The editor’s introduction argues for the importance of a closer relationship between history and tourism studies, and an international team of contributors explores the relationships between tourism, representations, environments and identities in settings ranging from the global to the local, from the Roman Empire to the twentieth century, and from Frinton to the ‘Far East’.
