La Voyageuse Immortelle

A busy week this week, I am still reading Paul Louis Rossi's 1990 book, Régine, which is more like an autobiography of Rossi living through the 1930s and 40s, at least, so far.

I suspect that the character, Régine, will start to take on a more prominent role. Rossi gives us lots of street names and, as readers told me last week, the district to the east of Nantes city centre which still exists today, the quartier de Doulon. And even a mention of Plymouth! But this morning La Voyageuse immortelle arrived. Rossi's later collection, which was published in 2001 by the French publishers, Le temps qu'il fait in Bazas.

Literature, cinema, theater, song, advertising, etc., stage tourist configurations, which are sometimes at the very heart of these fictions. Fictional tourists include those invent...

TRAVEL WRITING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE PROMOTION

TRAVEL WRITING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE PROMOTION This study contributes to the research literature through its approach to equipping tourism content creatives who are entering the professions of destination image communication with platform expertise alongside cooperation and co-creation leadership. Productive skills for travel writers and social media content producers in tourism are significant in the co-creation of sustainable tourist experiences since they are interactive and participative. The two purposes of this study are to implement and improve the dialogue journaling process as a re-usable methodology.
