September 2022Tourism Planning and Development in Eastern Europe
by Hania Janta, Konstantinos Andriotis, Dimitrios Stylidis
Three decades ago, the hypermobility of tourists from the days before the global pandemic was truly unthinkable in Eastern Europe. The borders were closed and the region isolated from the rest of the world. Despite an extraordinary transformation of tourism in the area since, Eastern Europe remains under-explored in tourism studies. This book fills the gap by outlining contemporary strategies for tourism development in post-socialist countries, considering the opportunities and challenges as well as the initiatives and approaches to sustainability. Reviewing tourism development and planning across Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Romania, this book: - Offers a contemporary and insightful outlook of Eastern Europe tourism, with a wide range of case studies from inter-disciplinary and single-disciplinary perspectives; - Uses varied methodological approaches and research methods, including in-depth interviews, focus groups, informal conversations, document analysis, netnography, questionnaires and secondary data, to form an interesting and diverse treatise; - Considers post-COVID tourism and the significant role of tourism stakeholders in its re-development. Illuminating the various economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts that tourism has created, this book is a valuable reference for researchers and students of tourism and related disciplines, as well as anyone interested in the development of Eastern Europe.

Business, Economics & LawJuly 2018Degrowth in Tourism
Conceptual, Theoretical and Philosophical Issues
by Konstantinos Andriotis
The modern-day world faces a hostile climate, depleted resources and the destruction of habitats. The dream that growth will lead to a materialistic utopia is left unfulfilled by a lack of ecological and economic capacity. The only choice is to find alternatives to increased growth, transform the structures and institutions currently shaping the world, change lifestyles and articulate a more credible vision for the future and lasting prosperity. As a reaction to the problems accrued by capitalism, new development approaches such as the concept of degrowth have evolved. Degrowth in Tourism explores newly-emerging development and philosophical approachesthat provide more equity for host communities and offer a low-carbon future by looking at alternatives to the classic models of development and applying the concept of degrowth in a tourism context. Proposing that we need to shift tourism research from models which prioritize commodified tourism experiences to those that offer alternative decommodified ones, this book: - Provides topical analysis and illustrates the key themes of degrowth; - Discusses the relationship between tourism and degrowth from both a historic perspective and through contemporary patterns of activity; - Includes international examples and case studies to translate theory into practical new approaches. A comprehensive review of the subject, this book will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners within tourism, development, environment and economics, as well as those specifically studying degrowth.

Business, Economics & LawMarch 2021Issues and Cases of Degrowth in Tourism
by Konstantinos Andriotis
The expansion of mass tourism is becoming highly unpopular and 'tourism-phobia', often expressed in the form of anti-tourism marches, is spreading across various destinations. In light of this, there is a paradigm shift from 'tourism growth' to 'tourism degrowth' through a desire for a drastic transformation of the tourism industry. Degrowth is a key strategy to balance tourism growth. It works to ensure that the direction of institutional change and the orientation of technological development are controlled and in harmony with the environment. Degrowth involves people whose use of personal time enhances the richness of the experience through traveling less, more slowly and using low carbon options, taking time to support the environment, the local economy and to explore the local culture. This book addresses the paucity of combined research on tourism and degrowth by presenting emergent knowledge and research on this increasingly important concept. In this book: - The core theme of degrowth from a tourism perspective is outlined. - Content is enriched with contributions from multi-disciplinary academics from around the World. - Theory is put in to practice via international case studies. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the book, the contents will appeal to researchers and postgraduates studying tourism, environmental studies, geography, planning and development and other related disciplines.

November 2021Tourism Marketing in Western Europe
by Nikolaos Boukas, Dimitrios Stylidis
Tourism is characterized by diversity, enormous growth, and multidimensional impacts on several levels. In the current turbulent environment, tourism destinations need, on the one hand to maintain and enhance their products in the tourism map, and on the other hand, to protect their resources' integrity for future generations, based on sustainability premises. This is more evident for traditional destinations in Western-Europe, as many of them face the consequences of over-growth, unsustainable development, and lack of service quality. In this respect, attention in the literature needs to be given to how destinations in the region can conceptualize and mitigate their weaknesses as well as capitalize on their competences in order to plan, develop and manage tourism products that could lead them to sustainable competitiveness in the long-term. The collection of cases in this book: · Considers global trends and forces in order to understand the marketing environment of a wide number of countries and the appreciation of the sustainable competitive development of destinations. · Explores specific marketing strategies in Western-European countries' destinations. · Is authored by scholars who have performed extensive research on tourism in the countries documented. The book is of significant interest to those researching and working within the area of tourism marketing, but also of interest to students who are seeking wider reading on the topic.

May 2004Istanbul
Ein Reisebegleiter
by Barbara Yurtdas
Istanbul ist eine Literaturstadt. Barbara Yurtdas führt in acht Spaziergängen durch die Gassen und Basare, Paläste und Bäder, zu den Prinzeninseln und ans Ende des Bosporus, in Moscheen, Kneipen und Bordelle. Der Leser erlebt die faszinierende Stadt mit den Augen der Schriftsteller, besucht das plüschig-luxuriöse Pera Palas Hotel, in dem Agatha Christie ihren Mord im Orientexpreß schrieb, oder den Friedhofshügel in Eyüb, wo Pierre Loti sein Liebesnest mit der schönen Aziyadeh ansiedelt. Für europäische und amerikanische Autoren wie Umberto Eco, Stefan Zweig, Gerd Heidenreich, Barbara Frischmuth, Konstantinos Kavafis, James Lovett, Graham Greene und viele andere war Istanbul ein poetischer Ort. Durch ihre Texte ebenso wie durch die Romane, Erzählungen und Gedichte türkischer Schriftsteller bekommt die Topographie der Stadt eine ganz andere Dimension, ein geheimes Leben.

March 2001Gefärbtes Glas
Historische Gedichte. Griechisch und deutsch
by Konstantin Kavafis, Michael Schroeder, Michael Schroeder
Weil im Zentrum des dichterischen Werks von Konstantinos Kavafis (1863–1933), Begründer der modernen griechischen Dichtung, gleichberechtigt neben den Liebesgedichten die historischen Gedichte stehen, tritt neben Um zu bleiben, den erfolgreichen Band mit Liebeslyrik (BS 1020; Radierungen von David Hockney), eine Auswahl der historischen Gedichte – wiederum in Übertragungen von Michael Schroeder.In den historischen Gedichten umkreist Kavafis, der in Konstantinopel und Alexandria lebte, Betrug und Täuschung, Fallen und tapferes Ausharren, Angst und Vermessenheit, stolze Erwartung und vergebliche Mühe – den sicheren, nie aber konkret absehbaren Untergang des Bestehenden. Die Dramaturgie der Personen und Ereignisse ist dicht, auf der Bühne befinden sich die hellenistische Welt und das sterbende Byzanz, Kleinasien, Syrien, Ägypten, der »melting pot« des östlichen Mittelmeers, die Zentren des Durcheinanders: Alexandria, Antiochia, Konstantinopel. Nicht Sternstunden der Geschichte, sondern den vergänglichen Augenblick hält Kavafis fest. Illusionslos, ohne Klage, mit melancholischer Ironie umfahren seine Gedichte die persönliche Wunde: den unwiederbringlichen Verlust einer großen Vergangenheit.

September 1980Protophilosophie
Zur Rekonstruktion der philosophischen Sprache
by Dimitrios Markis
Markis expliziert den Begriff der »Protophilosophie« anhand einer dialektischen Rekonstruktion der philosophischen Sprache. In diachronischer Sicht erörtert er die Konstitutionsaporien der »prima philosophia« von drei »Knotenpunkten« ihrer Geschichte – Aristoteles, Kant und Quine – aus; in synchronischer Sicht und in systematischer Absicht sucht er jenseits der dogmatischen, »einsprachigen« prima philosophia und der skeptischen »aphatischen« Metakritik derselben, den Ort einer »vielsprachigen« Protophilosophie freizulegen, die sich als linguistische Transformation der Dialektik versteht.
