        Heritage Tourism Destinations

        Preservation, Communication and Development

        by Edited by Maria D. Alvarez, Atila Yüksel, Frank Go

        Heritage tourism is tied to myth making and stories; creative content that can be shared, stored, combined and manipulated, but that depends on a unique cultural or natural history. A significant section of the wider phenomenon that is cultural tourism, heritage tourism is a demand-driven industry that continues to be a subject of heated debate in academic circles. Beginning with an overview of the subject, this book considers the conservation and revitalization of heritage destinations, as well as the role local communities have in supporting an attraction. It then discusses product development and communication around the world, using new techniques such as social media and examples from food tourism and sporting events, before a final section reviews the planning and institutionalisation of heritage spaces. A timely conclusion subsequently considers the implications of developments such as globalisation, technological improvement and climate change upon these unique destinations. A valuable addition to the literature, this book is the first to bridge the gap between theory and practice, including the latest research and international case studies for researchers and practitioners in tourism and destination management.

        pech & blende

        Gedichte

        by Lutz Seiler

        Lutz Seilers Gedichte sind gehärtete Gebilde außerhalb aller Moden. Sie rufen die dunklen Seiten des Daseins auf, graben tief im Vergangenen, legen dessen Schichten frei. In einer aufs äußerste verknappten Sprache sucht der Autor nach dem Essentiellen, nach den Spuren unseres Herkommens. »das war der säge / mehl geruch: // ein baum gelehnt / an seinen mann / der schaut hinaus / der schaut dich an wie durch / den schnitt seines Gesichts / & aus // dem baum schält sich das kind. / so steht es dann / von draussen da / mit eigenblut & findelstimmen« heißt es im Gedicht schmalhans. Jahrelang galt der in Gera/Thüringen geborene Autor als Geheimtipp, Michael Braun etwa nannte ihn eine „einzigartige Begabung“. »Diese Zeitgenossenschaft erscheint mit archaischer Wucht. Man wird sich daran gewöhnen müssen« schreibt Helmut Böttiger nach Erscheinen von pech & blende. Und Lothar Müller schrieb in der FAZ: »Dieses schmale, großartige Buch ist wie eine Muschel: ein Stück Deutschland ist darin eingeschlossen und rauscht.«

        by Katya Shtanko
