Tourism and Archaeology

The global popularity and lucrative potential of tourism has made sustainability a major concern for archaeologists site managers politicians local communities tourism officials and other stakeholders. This book establishes new interdisciplinary ground for tourism and archaeology that will foster a new generation of sustainable thinking and practice. First three teams of co-authors from both disciplines tackle key conceptual dilemmas: exploration vs. exploitation education vs. entertainment and cultural sensitivity vs. embeddedness. Then international case studies examine site development marketing community relations and other on-the-ground examples of heritage work. The volume launches an important new era of collaboration in this growing field.
