Transforming the (tourism) world for good and (re)generating the potential 'new normal
With or without the global COVID-19 pandemic to promote and envision a meaningful and positive transformation of the planet in general, and tourism specifically, a wake-up call is long overdue. The 300-years old industrial and modern paradigm of ruthless and selfish exploitation of natural resources has separated us from nature and ultimately ourselves to such an extent that the crises of our economic, political, environmental, social and healthc…

Dialectics of Authentication: Performing ‘Exotic Otherness’ in a Backpacker Enclave of Dali, China
This paper explores dialectics of entrepreneurship and cultural consumption in the backpacker tourist enclave of ‘Foreigner's Lane’ in Dali, Yunnan Province, PR China, focusing on the role of ethnic identities and their representation. The discussion uses the performance metaphor to conceptualise tourism as a carefully staged act and illustrates the context of authentification. The paper focuses on the activities of local entrepreneurs and their …
Special issue introduction
Getting ‘Entangled’: Reflexivity and the ‘Critical Turn’ in Tourism Studies
Reflecting a broader postmodern shift to unmask the cultural politics of research and knowledge-making in academia, tourism studies as a field is demonstrating a notable `critical turn¿ ¿ a shift in thought that serves to provide and legitimise a space for more interpretative and critical modes of tourism inquiry. In response to this critical turn, this paper addresses the central issue of `reflexivity¿ which, while alive in other disciplines and…
Culture, Economy and Tourism Commodities: Social Relations of Production and Consumption
The contemporary global economy has become characterized by an intensity and sophistication of the processes of commodification of consumption where production is increasingly aestheticized, attaching meanings and symbolic associations to material objects. The traditional interpretations of cultural commodification suggest disempowerment of traditional cultures and cultural practices through the integration with global tourism. This study goes be…
Perpetuating the Male Gaze as the Norm: Challenges for ‘Her’ Participation in Business Travel
Shift in postindustrial societies, influenced by trends such as globalization and the growth of service economies, fuels the continuous growth of business travel—traditionally an arena of male dominance and reflective of women's historically domesticated role. Contemporary societal changes, however, have resulted in the increased participation of women as business travellers. Despite the importance of business travel to global tourism industries,…
Unpacking the local: A cultural analysis of tourism entrepreneurship in Murter, Croatia
In recent years, there has been a paradigmatic shift articulated by the 'cultural' turn of tourism geography. Within the cultural analysis of economic relations the embrace of complexity and diversity has become essential to broadening our understanding of tourism development processes. This paper seeks to engage with local cultural perspectives, which inform these 'new' ways of theorizing tourism. This study focuses on small-scale tourism entrep…

Tourism, economic development and the global-local nexus: Theory embracing complexity
In this paper we review the complex links that exist between the tourism industry and processes of economic development. A brief overview of the industry's economic role at the international and national scale leads us into a discussion of local and regional involvement in the tourism industry. We emphasize the need to develop a more rigorous understanding of the evolving tourism industry and how it influences processes of local economic developm…
Local Government and Tourism Development: Issues and Constraints of Public Sector Entrepreneurship
The process of government restructuring in New Zealand has seen the emergence of the free market and competition as prevailing ideologies in the policy environment. At the local government level, tourism development has become a key strategy through which a new entrepreneurial stance has been articulated. As a research topic, entrepreneurship has been the orised for the most part in the context of the private sector. This paper explores some impo…
Circuits of tourism: Stepping beyond the 'production/consumption' dichotomy
The current blurring of the boundaries between economic and cultural geog raphies raises many issues within the geographical study of tourism. This paper addresses the crucial question of the value of dichotomous approaches, from either production or consumption perspectives. The neo-Gramscian concept of hegemony is then presented as a key theoretical framework that lays a foundation for stepping beyond binary logic. Critical theorists within cul…
Staying Within the Fence: Lifestyle Entrepreneurship in Tourism
Lifestyle, non-economic motives have been recognised as significant stimuli for tourism entrepreneurship and growth of the small-business sector. Tourism research, to date, has focused on the conceptualisation of entrepreneurship informed largely by economic analysis. In this context, the long-term survival of lifestyle entrepreneurs in tourism has been addressed as a constraint within regional economic development. Our research of an emerging co…
