Embracing the more-than-human nature of tourism impacts
Intersecting injustices in the tourist city
This article examines economic and cultural injustices in a context of touristification. Drawing on Nancy Fraser’s theory of justice, which conceives injustice as both redistributive and recognition-based, it explores how tourism-led urban restructuring generates intersecting forms of inequality and exclusion. It argues that redistributive injustices (e.g. housing insecurity, labour precarity) are dialectically reinforced by recognition-based one…
A destination perspective of tourism and climate change knowledge
Although there is now widespread knowledge of the impacts of climate change on tourism, progress in integrating this knowledge into tourism practice remains limited. This highlights the need for a better understanding of how existing knowledge concerning tourism and climate change is being applied. Building on Loehr & Becken's 2021 ‘Tourism Climate Change Knowledge System’ framework, the paper presents a meta-analysis of academic publications, gr…
Nudge plus in tourism
This research explores the potential application of nudge + in a tourism context. Nudge + is an intervention that aims to influence consumer decisions and promote long-term behavioural change by facilitating reflexive actions alongside reflective processes. Nudge + is conceptualised as a hybrid approach incorporating elements from green nudging and transformative experiences. In a laboratory simulation of a visit to an animal park, nudge + is use…
Making tourism geographies
This collection of responses to Alan Lew’s 2024 American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting Special Lecture in Honolulu, Hawai’i, Why Travel? (Lew, 2024), reflects his enduring influence on the field of tourism geographies and its growth as a vibrant community of practice. As the founding Editor-in-Chief of Tourism Geographies, Alan pioneered an inclusive, interdisciplinary vision for the field, shaping its trajectory for decades. Tr…
Can tourism impact studies become more meaningful
Scholars have long paid attention to tourism's impacts. Yet despite the considerable extant body of knowledge relating to tourism's economic, sociocultural, and environmental effects in numerous destinations, similar mistakes are repeated on a regular basis in localities throughout the world. A downside when it comes to tourism's effects is that scholars and practitioners commonly take these for granted and rarely examine these critically in a ho…
“Everyone Wants to Drive There”
Understanding transport challenges is inevitable for transitioning to a low‐carbon rural tourism future. Using social representation theory, this study examines how tourism and transport practitioners perceive transport challenges in rural destinations and how they overcome these problems. The multi‐method qualitative approach adopted involves semi‐structured interviews with practitioners, participant observation, and document analysis in the Swe…
Tourists' perceptions of wind turbines
Concerns about the effects of climate change have led to an interest in identifying ways to foster sustainability transitions. In the Global North, a key approach is to eventually eliminate dependence on carbon emitting energy while moving towards renewable sources, including wind power. Since wind farms require vast amounts of land, inevitably this explains the presence of such installations in many rural regions. This situation has alarmed vari…
Made in Airbnb’
Neolocal expressions where inhabitants promote distinguishing community characteristics through tourism have become increasingly popular in remote cold-water islands. Although scholars primarily discuss neolocalism in the context of microbreweries, evidence has emerged of tourism-neolocalism dynamics. Airbnb rentals, for instance, can be considered as neolocal playgrounds where inhabitants and tourists immerse themselves in and promote a destinat…
How do locals perceive the touristification of their food market? The case of Barcelona's La Boqueria
Overtourism has become a major issue of concern in many popular venues, including several cities like Barcelona. In this study, in order to better comprehend reactions towards overtourism, we analyze the perceptions of residents who regularly shop at Barcelona's La Boqueria towards the growing crowds of tourists who visit the same venue. The study aims to acknowledge the evolution over time of locals' aversion or support regarding the touristific…

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are important spatial elements providinghumans with recreational, aesthetic, spiritual and other benefits. Yet, because of their immaterial, subjective, qualitative and unmeasurable nature, this means that scientists,decision-makersand general public oftenfind their value difficult to grasp. Weenrich the CES approach with theoretical insights from humanistgeography, where we frame CESas arising from perpetual int…
“Making do” in rural tourism
We propose entrepreneurial bricolage as a framework that enables the description, explanation and exploration of the modus operandi of tourism micro-firms. Particularly, the notion of spatial bricolage constitutes fertile ground for further research and theoretical advances of sustainable tourism entrepreneurship. The potential for rural tourism development is conditioned by entrepreneurs’ capability to utilise local physical and non-material res…
The tourist-pilgrim continuum in consumer behaviour
Monasteries nowadays attract numerous visitors whose trips reflect varying levels of religious motivation. They witness varying consumption patterns when it comes to visitors’ shopping behaviour on their premises. Thus, building on the model of the tourist-pilgrim continuum, the research utilized both quantitative and qualitative methods to comprehend the consumer behaviour patterns of 184 foreign individuals who visited Kykkos Monastery on the i…
The Covid-19 crisis as an opportunity for escaping the unsustainable global tourism path
The COVID-19 pandemic has halted mobility globally on an unprecedented scale, causing the neoliberal market mechanisms of global tourism to be severely disrupted. In turn, this situation is leading to the decline of certain mainstream business formats and, simultaneously, the emergence of others. Based on a review of recent crisis recovery processes, the tourism sector is likely to rebound from this sudden market shock, primarily because of vario…
Nascent island tourism policy development in Greenland
Following its achievement of Self-Rule status in 2009 Greenland embarked on a series of measures to diversify its economy with an eye towards eventually gaining full independence from Denmark. Tourism was underlined as a key sector for reaching this goal and, consequently, over the last few years there has been a concerted effort to develop the island as an important polar destination. Significantly, the Greenlandic government created the tourism…
Does geography matter in all-inclusive resort tourism? Marketing approaches of Scandinavian tour operators
Over the last decade, there has been noticeable rise in popularity of all-inclusive holidays. This growth has coincided with the propensity in many destinations to develop tourism enclaves, which can either be purpose-built gated resorts physically isolated from their surrounding community or appear in the form of cruises, which have emerged as a particularly popular form of travel. In this explorative paper, we focus on the marketing of all-incl…
Airbnb as an instigator of 'tourism bubble' expansion in Utrecht's Lombok neighbourhood
The Airbnb phenomenon as part of the broader growth of the so-called collaborative economy has grabbed the attention of a growing number of tourism researchers. Among the topics explored have been investigations as to the spatial tendencies of Airbnb in cities and discussions concerning its effects, inter alia, on gentrification, over-touristification and eventual resident displacement. Recognizing that the majority of extant studies have been co…
Tourism's labour geographies
Geographers have certainly contributed actively to the extant scholarly literature relating to tourism work and workers. Nevertheless, with few notable exceptions, most of this research has been piecemeal and case-based demonstrating unawareness of broader theoretical discussions and debates within the emerging sub-field of labour geography. For this special issue, a total of eight papers have been selected, most of which deal to varying degrees …

Tourism Destination Evolution
Outlining the need for fresh perspectives on change in tourism, this book offers a theoretical overview and empirical examples of the potential synergies of applying evolutionary economic geography
Tourism Encounters and Controversies
The multiplicity of tourism encounters provide some of the best available occasions to observe the social world and its making(s). Focusing on ontological politics of tourism development, this book examines how different versions of tourism are enacted, how encounters between different versions of tourism orderings may result in controversies, but also on how these enactments and encounters are entangled in multiple ways to broader areas of devel…
Urban Tourism and Evolutionary Economic Geography
Special issue introduction
Tourism does not exist in isolation as an economic activity and is embedded in numerous highly complex internal and external networks. As such, understanding tourism's relations to places and regions is a challenging task. The introduction to this special issue defines the editors' goals of proposing that an evolutionary economic geography (EEG) approach can provide an insightful conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between tou…

Tourism 'non-entrepreneurship' in peripheral destinations
Geographers have increasingly criticized the absence of theoretical rigour characterizing studies of the tourism production system. Tourism entrepreneurship is one related research area that has not received the level of attention it deserves. Additionally, the role that innovation plays in small and medium tourism enterprises (SMTEs) has not been examined in depth. This paper focuses on a study of entrepreneurial activity among SMTEs in a periph…

Transboundary Collaboration in Tourism
Tourism's relationship to political boundaries has caught the attention of researchers only recently, even though on a more general level the academic study of borders attracts considerable interest. A topic that has been explored only superficially concerns the obstacles inhibiting tourism's development in a cross-border setting and, particularly, the tensions arising when the respective national interests of the two neighbouring countries do no…

Commentary: The Economic Geography of the Tourist Industry: Ten Years of Progress in Research and an Agenda for the Future
A flawed implementation of sustainable tourism
Obstacles to achieving cross-border tourism governance
Misguided policy initiatives in small-island destinations
Following the rhetoric of sustainability, many destinations have adopted policies aimed at attracting high spending visitors while limiting the further growth of mass package tourism. Drawing mainly from the experiences of small-island destinations, we question whether these policies are either environmentally or economically justifiable. Up-market tourists are few in number, prefer varied destinations and require luxury accommodations and facili…

Pilgrimages of Nostalgia
Research concerning the relationships between tourism and religion has focused on pilgrimages and other forms of religious-oriented travel as they apply mainly to Christianity and Islam, although some authors have explored the subject within the context of eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. By contrast, relatively little research has been done on the travel patterns of Jewish people, especially outside Israel. This paper, therefore,…

Conducting creativity in the periphery of Sweden
Socio-economic cohesion has been a foundational overarching objective of the European Union. The European Union's recent enlargement, not to mention the worldwide economic downturn, persisting asymmetries of globalization and deindustrialization have deepened existing cleavages and accentuated persisting effects of unbalanced development. The mainstreaming of the sustainability concept and the ascendance of creativity and innovation as regional d…
