Review:
This is a rigorous, informative and charming book about the nexus of the moving image and tourism. The author draws the reader in with her personal stories, perspectives and passion, while also providing a rich historical perspective and clear conceptual frameworks. It breaks new ground and provides much needed knowledge in this area of tourism.
(Pauline Sheldon, Professor Emeritus, University of Hawaii, USA)Images are central to how the tourist gaze is organized, systemized and performed. Travel, Tourism and the Moving Image is a ‘moving’ book about moving images, packed with interesting ideas and fascinating cases. This succinct book is essential reading for scholars and students interested in the cultural tourism geographies of gazing and images.
