      Una historia en imágenes

      1957 - 1973

      by Aurelio González

      Las fotografías de este libro guardan un doble secreto; una increíble historia de resistencia y tenacidad. Los negativos, escondidos por Aurelio en 1973 para evitar que las fuerzas represivas los destruyeran, fueron recuperados 30 años después. La humedad del escondite, en vez de estropearlos, selló las latas y los mantuvo a salvo. Ya vuelto del exilio, Aurelio los buscó en varias oportunidades en el lugar donde los había ocultado y sus alrededores, sin lograr encontrarlos. Un niño los descubrió. Jugaba con ellos sin que nadie supiera y volvía a dejarlos donde los había hallado. Un día el niño, ya grande, se encuentra con un fotógrafo, le cuenta su historia y este ata cabos. Aurelio nunca perdió la esperanza de recuperar esta porción de historia en formato de negativos que vencieron el tiempo y las dificultades. Todas estas fotografías fueron tomadas, desde 1957 a 1973, para el diario El Popular en su primera época hasta su clausura por la dictadura cívico-militar. Son imágenes que nutren la memoria colectiva sobre la historia de las peripecias de un pueblo en su lucha por lograr mejores condiciones de vida y su resistencia ante el autoritarismo.

      Tourism Planning and Development in the Middle East

      by Stella Kladou, Konstantinos Andriotis, Anna Farmaki, Dimitrios Stylidis, Wisam Abbasi, Naser Abdi, Elad Almog, Selenay Ata, Nursah Ayhan, Fatemeh Bagheri, Ashkan Borouj, Ali Hajinejad, Farid Hanifezadeh, Rami K. Isaac, Sina Kuzuoglu, Sarasadat Makian, Alexis Saveriades, Ronen Shay, Bahram Nekouie Sadry, Kholoud Mohamed Abdel Maksoud, Somayeh Zahabnazouri

      Given the historical and cultural richness of countries in the Middle East region, as well as the economic development many have exhibited in recent years, tourism planning and development gains much significance for both scholars and practitioners. Turbulence, conflicts and crises exhibited in the area add further dimensions that need to be incorporated in tourism strategies and planning, and taken into consideration by experts at an institutional, corporate and educational level. Furthermore, in order to effectively deal with aspects of sustainability, visions and strategies in the region need to build upon good practices. As a result, a greater understanding is required of the factors influencing decision-making on tourism matters as well as on the impacts and implications of sustainable tourism development. This book, written by an international team of experts, addresses the need to examine tourism development and planning in the Middle East from a sustainability perspective by embracing case studies and examples from the region. Through its collection of chapters, the book considers tourism planning and development from the economic, socio-cultural, environmental and regulatory perspectives of sustainability. Thus, the book advances understandings of the positive and negative impacts of tourism development as well as how turbulence, crisis, synergies and the top-down and bottom-up approaches to tourism development are connected to different problems and implications for local communities, the region and the relationship of the Middle East with the rest of the world. An essential resource for tourism practitioners, decision-makers in private and public organisations, government bodies and consultants from not only the Middle East, but all those who want an encompassing view of global tourism.
