Histories of Tourism cover

This collection of essays develops the historical dimension to tourism studies through thematic case studies. The editor's introduction argues for the importance of a closer relationship between history and tourism studies, and an international team of contributors explores the relationships between tourism, representations, environments and identities in settings ranging from the global to the local, from the Roman Empire to the twentieth century, and from Frinton to the 'Far East'.

"Finally, a long overdue marriage of history and tourism studies! In these well-researched essays by the best scholars in their specialties, readers will find how tourists and their destinations shaped each other and how the tourist experience impacted broader society. A must for both historians and tourism specialists." Gary Cross, Distinguished Professor of Modern History, Penn State University"
