Tourism gentrification is a critical shaping force of socio-economic and contemporary urban landscapes. This book aims to be the first substantive text on this subject, explaining the multiple and complex relationships between tourism and gentrification and their outcomes and manifestations in contemporary metropolises. This is achieved by drawing on in-depth case analyses addressing the different issues at stake.Part I deals with the manifestations of tourism gentrification and the ways it affects urban landscapes through heritagization and urban regeneration strategies. Part II looks at the correlations between tourism gentrification and culture. Finally, the last two parts aim to identify and examine forms and expressions of tourism gentrification, distinguishing among the actors, beneficiaries, and victims of the phenomenon while looking at its implications for intra-metropolitan territories and metropolitan governance.The book approaches these issues in an innovative way, by looking at a variety of metropolises in a diverse range of countries and by dealing with the different relations and management issues generated by gentrification in relation to tourism. Through interdisciplinary approaches, this groundbreaking text sheds light on the role tourism plays in contemporary metropolises, furthering knowledge of urban tourism. For these reasons, it will be of particular interest to scholars and students of tourism, urban studies, geography, anthropology and sociology.

This title offers a dynamic understanding of tourism, usually defined in terms of clearly circumscribed places and temporalities, to grasp its changing spatial patterns.The first part looks at the "befores" – everyday places such as daily markets, flea markets, urban neighbourhoods, that have captured the tourists’ interest and have progressively experienced new development in their ordinary patterns. The second part investigates the "afters" – former tourist spaces moving beyond the tourism sphere and becoming places of everyday life, study, or work. Chapters explore what this means for local societies and examine this contemporary phenomenon of former tourist attractions becoming ordinary and everyday, and of ordinary places beginning to take on a tourist dimension. The hybridisation of tourist practices and ordinary practices is also explored through a range of international case studies and examples written by highly regarded and interdisciplinary academics.This edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students, academics, and researchers in tourism, urban studies, and land use planning.

This insightful Handbook explores the relationship between tourism and gentrification, focusing on the post COVID-19 era. It examines the conceptual links between these two social phenomena, outlining the spaces in which tourist gentrification has taken place and its consequences. Expert authors discuss how the mutually beneficial relationship between tourism and gentrification has expanded in the post-pandemic world. They identify the different spaces where tourist gentrification occurs, such as historic districts, cities and metropolises, as well as analysing specific settings including urban nightlife, red-light districts and commercial areas. Chapters delve into detailed case studies such as the touristification of Lisbon’s nightlife, luxury tourism in the Alpine region, and WangHong (digital influencing) gentrification in China. The Handbook emphasises the global nature of tourist gentrification alongside its regional variations and sheds light on positive initiatives to sustainably develop tourism.Students and scholars of tourism, heritage studies and urban, social and cultural geography will greatly benefit from this timely Handbook. It is also a vital resource for policymakers and practitioners in urban planning and architecture.
