Slow Travel and Tourism

Slow Travel and Tourism
By:Janet Dickinson,Les Lumsdon
Published on 2010 by Routledge



'Ironically, you might think, I'm a great advocate of Slow Travel. There is a misconception that |seeing the world| requires us all to travel further and faster. And I've probably contributed to it, with a series of television programmes that have largely depended on visiting distant lands. Nevertheless, I would suggest that our practice when we are in another country is sympathetic to the philosophy of Slow Travel.'-Michael Palin 'Slow Travel and Tourism will be of interest to al those interested in improving the sustainability of tourism and enhancing tourist experience. It is a very well researched book that provides detailed information on tourism transport and mobilities.'-Susanne Becken, Associate Professor, Faculty of Environment, Society and Design, Lincoln University, New Zealand 'Lumsdon and Dickinson reconnoitre new terrain for both scientists and practitioners in tourism thinking...Read it and be inspired, changed and given more time!'-Paul Peeters, Associate Professor NHTV University of Applied Sciences, Breda, The Netherlands 'Required reading for anyone stuck in the outdated logic of growth at any cost, as well as those looking for inspiration for innovation.'-Stefan G÷ssling, Professor of Tourism, School of Business and Economics, Linnaeus University, Sweden The aim of this book is to define slow travel and to discuss how some underlining values are likely to pervade new forms of sustainable development. It also aims to provide insights into the travel experience; these are explored in several chapters which bring new knowledge about sustainable transport tourism from across the world. In order to do this the book explores the concept of slow travel and sets out its core ingredients, comparing it with related frameworks such as low-carbon tourism and sustainable tourism development. The authors illustrate their approach through a series of case studies from around the world, featuring travel by train, buts, cycling and walking. Examples are drawn from Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Cases include the eurostar train (as an alternative to air travel), walking in the Appalachian Trail (US), the Euro-Velo network of long-distance cycling routes, canoe tours on the Gudena River in Denmark, sea kayaking in British Columbia (Canada) and the Oz Bus Europe to Australia.

The Global Politics of Contemporary Travel Writing

The Global Politics of Contemporary Travel Writing By:Debbie Lisle Published on 2006-11-02 by Cambridge University Press To what extent do best-selling travel books, such as those by Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, Bruce Chatwin and Michael Palin, tell us as much about world politics as newspaper articles, policy documents and press releases? Debbie Lisle argues that the formulations of genre, identity, geopolitics and history at work in contemporary travel writing are increasingly at odds with a cosmopolitan and multicultural world in which 'everybody travels'. Despite the forces of globalization, common stereotypes about 'foreignness' continue to shape the experience of modern travel. The Global Politics of Contemporary Travel Writing, first published in 2006, is concerned with the way contemporary travelogues engage with, and try to resolve, familiar struggles about global politics such as the protection of human rights, the promotion of democracy, the management of equal...

The Passage to Europe By:Luuk van Middelaar Published on 2013-05-15 by Yale University Press As financial turmoil in Europe preoccupies political leaders and global markets, it becomes more important than ever to understand the forces that underpin the European Union, hold it together and drive it forward. This timely book provides a gripping account of the realities of power politics among European states and between their leaders. Drawing on long experience working behind the scenes, Luuk van Middelaar captures the dynamics and tensions shaping the European Union from its origins until today. It is a story of unexpected events and twists of fate, bold vision and sheer necessity, told from the perspective of the keyplayers – from de Gaulle to Havel, Thatcher to Merkel. Van Middelaar cuts through the institutional complexity by exploring the unforeseen outcomes of decisive moments and focusing on the quest for public legitimacy. As a first-hand witness to the day-to-day actions and dec...
