Routledge - Protest and Resistance in the Tourist City Book

Explore the growing politicization of urban tourism with this academic study from Routledge. As global travel shifts, cities from Venice and Prague to emerging destinations in the global North and South face new challenges. This book examines how residents and stakeholders react to the expansion of the tourism industry and the specific impacts it has on urban life. Through the lens of contemporary geographies of leisure, tourism, and mobility, the text investigates why certain forms of tourism are contested or deplored in various settings. It moves beyond simple discussions of tourism growth to look at the broader social and political tensions created within urban spaces. This is an essential resource for those studying the changing relationship between travelers, local communities, and the cities they visit.
