Selling or Telling? Paradoxes in Tourism, Culture and Heritage
January 22, 2008
SELLING OR TELLING? PARADOXES IN TOURISM, CULTURE AND HERITAGE, ATLAS (Association for Tourism and Leisure Education) Annual Conference 2008
Numerous issues exist between the ’selling’ and ‘telling’ of cultural heritage through tourism. The conflicts range from purely commercial (i.e. competition for space between residents and tourists) and the more esoteric aspects of how and who makes visual, political and cultural representations of local people.
The conference provides an intellectual space to explore these challenges with four interconnected streams providing a coherent logic to the proceedings yet diverse enough to allow for a wide range of multidisciplinary papers that will enable lively debate and provide new insights into this complex area.
1. Dynamic Heritage Impact: Measuring and changing impacts
2. Diversification and Regeneration
3. Culture, Heritage and Representation
4. Conflict
