Urban Fringe Belts
The historical legacies embedded in a city’s very structure represent a valuable resource for tourism. Yet, the study of urban form has not been fully recognized for its potential contributions to tourism research and practice. Urban fringe belts exemplify this untapped potential.

In the context of recreational vehicle travels, novelty space encompasses psychological, cognitive, social, geographic, and mechanical domains. This study tests the mediating effects of novelty space for the travels in Xinjiang, China, based upon the photographs taken during t…

The aim of this study is to ascertain residents’ attitudes toward the redevelopment of the defunct shipyard located in Coloane, Macau. The grounded theory approach is employed to elicit residents’ perceptions of tourism projects proposed by local government. The findings reveal that…
The Morphology of Tourism
Morphological research studies the physical form of landscapes, including how landscape structures function and operate, the adaptability of forms, and how functions and forms change over time. Applying the methods and models of morphology to tourism, this innovative book explores some of the complex relationships between tourism and morphological changes in urban and rural destinations across the globe. Tourism-related impacts on the physical en…

Using the case study of the Hotel Estoril, the first Western-style casino hotel built in the former Portuguese co…

Authenticating Ethnic Tourism
Authenticity is a negotiated rather than an absolute attribute of tourism phenomena. A large number of stakeholders is involved in the negotiation of authenticity, including the state, the business community, tourists and, in the case of ethnicity, representatives of minority groups. Each of these is likely to hold its own perspectives on authenticity. This presentation focuses upon the latter group and examines the perceptions of tourism and cul…

Aboriginal dance performance opens a window of opportunity for tourists to appreciate its culture and traditions. This paper explores the relationship between authenticity and commodification based upon empirical research on the aboriginal bamboo-beating dance on Hainan Island, China. The findings suggest that the…
