Cultural Attractions and European Tourism
Edited by Greg Richards
Description
Cultural tourism has been identified as one of the most important of the global tourism markets. Europe hosts a vast treasure house of cultural attractions and the level of competition between cities, regions and nations to attract cultural tourists is increasing. This book reviews the cultural tourism market in Europe, based on recent surveys. It analyses the way in which cultural attractions are produced for and used by cultural tourists and pays attention to specific types of cultural attractions including museums, art galleries, monuments and heritage attractions and the management, marketing and cultural issues surrounding them.

Endorsements
"Within this important text, Richards has shown a penchant for posing incisive questions on discourses of 'high' and 'low' culture (and non-culture), successfully exploring why culture has become a commodifiable element of European attractions." Nigel Morpeth, Hospitality Management (21) 2002 "Overall this is a book that has much to recommend it to students of cultural and heritage tourism not only in Europe but also those in countries that are influenced by European conceptions of heritage and cultural attractions. The book is generally well written and well referenced and poses substantial questions regarding the commodification of culture and visitor management in a manner that should be attractive to both graduate and undergraduate courses in tourism and heritage management." Michael James, Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 13(4), 2005
