| Abstract
|
:
|
"Seductions of Place explores questions at the crossroads of contemporary issues in travel and tourism, human geography, and the complex cultural, political, and economic activities at stake in touristed landscapes, as a result of processes of globalization. The seductiveness of touristed landscapes is simultaneously local and global, as traveled places are formed and reworked by the activities of diverse, mobile people, in their desires to experience situated, sensuous qualities of difference."--Jacket.
