Description

The widespread exploitation of natural landscapes and historical artefacts as tourism products has given rise to substantial debate. This work provides a synthesis of modern research on the nature, production, consumption and uses of heritage, discussing the plurality of approaches to the subject, from mainstream to radical. It examines the tensions that arise from the dichotomy between heritage as a capitalist commodity and heritage as a cultural and social resource. This dichotomy is at the core of this book, as is the key question of who decides what is heritage and the messages that it imparts to society.
