The new millennium has been characterised by several crises ranging from dramatic acts of terror to natural disasters, as well as the most significant economic recession since the late 1920s. However, despite such challenges the global tourism system has in the main retained its past vitality although in some cases in a different form. The book investigates different kinds of "crisis" and unpacks understandings of crisis in relation to various components in the contemporary tourism system. The aim of this book therefore is to critically analyse the relationship between tourism and crises. The volume focuses on the roles and potential of tourism for development and relations between tourism, environment and broad global process of change at different levels of analysis, highlighting different types of "crisis". In particular it questions the general conviction that tourism-led development is a sustainable and necessarily solid platform from which to develop local, national and regional economies from a range of perspectives.Written by leading academics in the field this book offers valuable insight into tourism’s relationship with socio – cultural, environment, economic and political crisis as well as the challenges facing future tourism development.

Over the past decade, the field of urban tourism has consolidated with the appearance of several books that concentrate upon the Western European and North American experience. Recently, the scope and range of urban research has widened considerably, including the welcome appearance of studies that examine the tourism phenomenon in cities outside the Euro-American heartland.Despite this growing international body of debate and scholarship on tourism and cities, particularly in the developed North, literature that relates to the developing world as a whole, and to Africa in particular, remains sparse. The task of Urban Tourism in the Developing World: The South African Experience is to augment the current international scholarship concerning urban tourism in the developing world. More especially, the contributors draw attention to a range of case studies from South Africa that provide some starting points to address the uneven scholarly coverage of urban tourism the African context has received to date. In addition, the research material presented here seeks to contribute toward raising the South African, and indeed the African profile, within growing international scholarship concerning issues of urban tourism and development.This collection aims to expand an emerging South African and African tourism research "voice" concerning the tourism and development nexus, as well as to stem critiques that this body of research appears to have developed in a theoretical vacuum, divorced from broader international tourism research discourses. This collection of essays not only further develops an independent South African tourism perspective, but also presents research that is closely tied to international urban tourism research debates. In addition, this analysis of urban tourism in the South African context enriches the rather Western-oriented theories of urban tourism discourse through its emphasis on how urban tourism is evolving in urban Africa.

This book examines how wine tourism is designed, interpreted and strategically justified by wineries through a comparative analysis of two emblematic wine regions: Rioja (Spain) and Mendoza (Argentina). Commonly associated with the Old World and New World traditions, respectively, these regions offer contrasting yet comparable settings for analyzing how wine tourism strategies are shaped by territory, history and institutional context. Adopting a producer-centered perspective, the book draws on resource and capabilities theory, network-based approaches and institutional theory to explain how wineries mobilize territorial resources, coordinate with regional actors and respond to regulatory and legitimacy pressures. Wine tourism is analyzed not as a transferable managerial model but as a territorially embedded strategic practice that evolves through path-dependent processes.The analysis pays particular attention to contextual factors that condition strategic choice, including cultural heritage, environmental conditions, governance structures and regional economic trajectories. Through its comparative design, the book shows how similar strategic intentions lead to different wine tourism configurations when filtered through distinct territorial logics. Moreover, it contributes to a deeper understanding of wine tourism as a strategic activity grounded in place, producer interpretation and long-term regional development.
