Recenzje

“Ironically, post-conflict and post-disaster destinations have a special kind of lure. Disasters alter both natural and cultural landscapes of the affected regions. Resident perceptions of tourism change. The types of tourists wanting to visit these regions and their motivations are now different. The destination marketing agencies need to come up with new strategies to attract the right kinds of tourists, within the frameworks of post-conflict, post-disaster, regional development. The contributors to this edited volume have brought in some very critical thoughts and also creative solutions to address these issues. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in dark tourism and related fields.”

“The book talks about one of the most prevalent issues and often unnoticed matter in the contemporary world. It not only offers a fresh perspective towards destinations that are affected by colonialism, disaster or conflict but further provides possible solutions. . . . The authors try to illustrate new perspective on the management and marketing of post-colonial, post-conflict, and post-disaster destinations. With strong literature review, the author introduces all the concepts of marketing and management with valuable examples. The authors further emphasise on various related aspects like post-disaster consumption of tourism activities, education of tourists during their pre-visit stage, destination image and future of such destinations, the potential of street food and sports tourism products, commoditisation and ethics concerning the consumption of post-disaster destinations.”
