Walls and Gateways

“This book allows for critical and deep conversations about the use and management of heritage for tourism purposes, as well as the value of cultural heritage for creating a sense of place and authenticity. It provides space for reflection and consideration for how such findings might be transferred to other historic cities that rely heavily on tourism activities. This book extends current research relating to heritage and tourism management within historic places and provides valuable insights to both academics and practitioners.”• Journal of Heritage Tourism
