TÃtulo : Urban Tourism in the Global South : South African Perspectives Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Rogerson, Christian M., ; Rogerson, Jayne M., Mención de edición: 1 ed. Editorial: [s.l.] : Springer Fecha de publicación: 2021 Número de páginas: IX, 266 p. 42 ilustraciones ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-030-71547-2 Nota general: Libro disponible en la plataforma SpringerLink. Descarga y lectura en formatos PDF, HTML y ePub. Descarga completa o por capítulos. Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Turismo Gestión Gestión turÃstica Clasificación: 307.76 Resumen: Este libro examina y aborda el carácter particular del turismo urbano que ocurre en el Sur global. Presenta ensayos de investigación sobre el turismo en áreas urbanas de Sudáfrica, un paÃs asociado con los cinco grandes del turismo de naturaleza pero donde las áreas urbanas también son importantes destinos turÃsticos. El libro contextualiza el turismo urbano en Sudáfrica como parte de "la otra mitad del turismo urbano", un estudio enérgico pero pasado por alto que está surgiendo sobre lugares urbanos en el Sur global. El volumen presenta una colección de material original sobre perspectivas nacionales sobre el turismo urbano, seguido de un conjunto de perspectivas a nivel de ciudad. Las últimas tres contribuciones se centran en el papel del turismo en las ciudades pequeñas, el último peldaño del sistema de asentamiento urbano. Los temas de preocupación incluyen el turismo gastronómico, los viajes VFR, los paisajes aeroportuarios, el cambio climático, AirBnb y el turismo creativo. Finalmente, como la COVID-19 es potencialmente un momento histórico decisivo para el turismo urbano, el volumen incorpora perspectivas de investigación histórica para abordar la abrumadora "mentalidad actual" de los principales escritos sobre turismo urbano. El libro destaca los desafÃos y oportunidades para el desarrollo turÃstico en el entorno del Sur global urbano y es relevante para los académicos tanto del turismo como de los estudios urbanos, asà como para los investigadores en estudios del desarrollo. Nota de contenido: Chapter 1. The Other Half of Urban Tourism: Research Directions in the Global South -- Chapter 2. Looking to the Past: The Geography of Tourism in South Africa During the Pre-COVID-19 Era -- Chapter 3. Climate Change Threats to Urban Tourism in South Africa -- Chapter 4. Mundane Urban Tourism: The Historical Evolution of Caravan Parks in South Africa 1930-1994 -- Chapter 5. Connection, Place, Transit: Airport Atmospherics and Meaning-making at Cape Town International Airport -- Chapter 6. Airbnb in Townships of South Africa: A New Experience of Township Tourism? -- Chapter 7. Urban Tourism Under Apartheid: The Johannesburg Chapter -- Chapter 8. Student-Centred VFR Travel: Evidence From Johannesburg -- Chapter 9. Small Town Tourism in South Africa Revisited -- Chapter 10. The Role of Tourism in Small Town Cultural and Creative Industries Clustering: The Sarah Baartman District, South Africa -- Chapter 11. Creative Networks and the Making of Africa's First UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book examines and addresses the particular character of urban tourism occurring in the global South. It presents research essays on tourism in urban areas of South Africa, a country which is associated with big 5 nature tourism but where urban areas are also major tourism destinations. The book contextualizes urban tourism in South Africa as part of 'the other half of urban tourism', an overlooked but energetic scholarship which is emerging on urban places in the global South. The volume moves to present a collection of original material variously on national perspectives on urban tourism following by a cluster of city level perspectives. The last three contributions turn to the role of tourism in small towns, the bottom rung in the urban settlement system. Issues of concern include gastronomic tourism, VFR travel, airportscapes, climate change, AirBnb and creative tourism. Finally, as COVID-19 is potentially a defining historical moment for urban tourism, the volume incorporates historical research perspectives in order to address the overwhelming 'present-mindedness' of mainstream urban tourism writings. The book highlights the challenges and opportunities for tourism development in the environment of the urban global South and is relevant to scholars of both tourism and urban studies as well as researchers in development studies.
