Further, tourism marketers and planners may be better equipped to promote and manage the des- tination, particularly with regard to expectations of the potential visitor. Tourism and National Identities is the first volume to explore fully the relation- ship between tourism and national identities and the multiple ways in which cultural tourism, events and celebrations contribute to national identity. It exam- ines core topics critical to understanding this relationship, including: tourism branding, stereotyping and national identity; tourism-related representation and experience of national identity; tourism visitation/site/event management; and the relationship to cultural tourism. The book looks at a range of international tourist sites and events and combines multidisciplinary perspectives and international cases to provide a thorough aca- demic analysis. The interconnecting area of cultural tourism and national identity has been largely overlooked in academic literature to date; this volume gives considerable analysis to the complex relationship between the two domains and, indeed, the multifaceted strategies used to define that relationship. Written by an international team of leading academics, Tourism and National Identities will be of interest to students, researchers and academics in tourism and related disciplines such as events, cultural studies and geography.

Michael Hall Professor at the Department of Management, College of Business and Economics, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand The aim of this series is to explore and communicate the intersections and rela- tionships between leisure, tourism and human mobility within the social sciences. It will incorporate both traditional and new perspectives on leisure and tourism from contemporary geography – for example, notions of identity, representation and culture – while also providing for perspectives from cognate areas, such as anthropology, cultural studies, gastronomy and food studies, marketing, policy studies and political economy, regional and urban planning, and sociology, within the development of an integrated field of leisure and tourism studies. Also, increasingly, tourism and leisure are regarded as steps in a continuum of human mobility. Inclusion of mobility in the series offers the prospect of examin- ing the relationship between tourism and migration, the sojourner, educational travel, and second home and retirement travel phenomena. The series comprises two strands: Contemporary geographies of leisure, tourism and mobility aims to address the needs of students and academics, and the titles will be published in hardback and paperback.
