Solène Prince – författare

This timely and innovative volume undertakes a comprehensive exploration of how local practices intersect with global processes within a tourism and sustainability context, providing detailed insights and practical applications that can be applied to tourist destinations globally.

Iinterdisciplinary in character, the volume focuses on two adjacent areas in Southeast Sweden, the island of Öland and the Småland region. It provides illustrative extended case studies to extract valuable insights applicable to diverse contexts. This localized approach enables researchers to discern patterns, identify challenges, and devise solutions that can be adapted and implemented in various tourist destinations globally. The variety of topics identified within the case area, and which are featured through the chapters of the volume (i.e., destination marketing, the sharing economy, rural entrepreneurship, water scarcity, heritage preservation, national park branding, the cultural and creative economy), make it unique in its approach to integrate multiple local practices within a case area into a framework that had wider implications beyond the regional level.

This volume will be of pivotal interest to scholars, students and academics of tourism and sustainability, as well as practitioners.
