Chapter 2: 02-From Margins to Mainstream: Integrating Diverse Stakeholder Perspectives in Tourism Development

Author: Dr Jasna Potočnik Topler

·        The chapter critically examines the challenges of meaningful inclusion, including power imbalances, conflicting interests, and communication barriers. The chapter explores innovative frameworks, participatory methodologies, and governance models designed to foster genuine co-creation. By synthesizing theory and practice, it demonstrates how integrating these varied voices leads to more resilient, responsible, and socially just tourism outcomes that benefit both destinations and the tourism industry long-term.

Chapter 3: 03-Reframing the Local: The Guggenheim Effect and Sustainable Place-Branding in Santo Tirso.

Authors: Dr Sara Pascoal & Laura Tallone

·        Bilbao and the Guggenheim Museum have led the way in strategic tourism management, emphasising not just the museum's economic benefits to the region, but also urban growth and regeneration. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao's Environmental Sustainability Strategic Framework underlines its commitment to the UN’s SDGs, particularly those relating to the environment. The so-called Guggenheim effect refers to the transformation of a city's image and economy due to the influence of iconic cultural institutions or events. In this chapter, we argue that this effect can inspire sustainable tourism in small-scale cities by prioritizing creative and cultural development that aligns with sustainable practices.

Chapter 4: 04-Collaboration and co-creation: exploring the value and impact of digital storytelling

Author: Dr Natalie Semley

·        Despite the design and implementation of storytelling in a destination being complex, an orthodox single case study has been designed and delivered in the Southwest of England to capture and evaluate the role of digital storytelling.  The data-driven value exchange has sought to quantify the significance of digital storytelling, and in doing so has delivered an array of profound benefits for partners involved in the collaboration between destination managers, creatives, educational institutions, and software developers.  The study is the first of its kind, as it determines the value of storytelling to a tourist destination through the exploration of destination intelligence data.  The empirical study was ratified through in-depth interviews and a quantitative user survey and concluded that the conversion rate from sharing stories to individuals visiting a destination, can be established.

Chapter 5:  05-Sweet Memories, Sustainable Futures: Cultural Narratives and Ethical Memory in Kraš’s Iconic Sweets

Author: Dr Anja Skapin Subanović

·        The chapter examines how Kraš's iconic products, Bajadera and Domaćica, function as carriers of intangible heritage within the context of sustainable tourism. Building on theories of nostalgia, memory, and narrative ethics, it develops a methodological triangle connecting cultural, epistemological, and ethical dimensions to analyse how these brands evoke memory not as mere consumption but as a responsible engagement with the past. Through contrasting modes of narrative memory – restorative nostalgia embodied by Bajadera and reflective nostalgia represented by Domaćica – the chapter highlights the role of storytelling in shaping heritage narratives that balance historical continuity, affective knowledge, and corporate responsibility, offering a framework for more sustainable and inclusive heritage tourism practices.

Chapter 6:  06-Blockchain Beyond Ownership: NFTs, Co-Creation, and the Future of Tourism Experiences.

Author: Dr Yassine Mountije

·        This chapter examines the adoption of blockchain technology (BCT) in the tourism and hospitality industry (THI). Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are one of the tools of BCT. NFTs are reshaping THI with innovative ways of ownership and engagement. Focusing on value co-creation (VCC), this chapter evaluates how NFTs enable travellers to participate in the creation, personalisation, and sharing of experiences.

Chapter 7:  07-Knowledge networks, emerging social media technologies and Web 2.0 platforms.

Author: Dr Charles Mansfield

·        The cultural heritage of a town often remains hidden from potential visitors. This chapter shows how the theory of knowledge ecosystems can build networks for eliciting and sharing place-making narratives. It applies these theories in a case study where a new feature in the WhatsApp smartphone app is used to develop slow tourism for a destination in Normandy, France. For the tourism development team, the theories of story, plot and novelistic discourse are explored through an illustrative and re-usable example for place-making creatives.

Chapter 8:  08-Sustainable Heritage Management: Lessons from the Middle East Region.

Authors: Professor Farouk Attaalla, Ranea Qaddhat, Samer Ababenh, Lama'a Al-orainat

 

·        This chapter evaluates the current situation in 3 heritage tourism locations in the Middle East. These historical sites already attract tourism, but they are not listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The research presented here explores the conflicting challenges of (i) attracting more tourists, (ii) protecting and interpreting the heritage, whilst also (iii) considering how the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be respected and implemented. As an outcome, the work here presents a comprehensive plan for the development and restructuring of the tourist attractions and integrating them with the surrounding environment to achieve economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

 Chapter 10:  10-Stories of the Sea: Enhancing Maritime Identity and Destination Marketing in Boka Kotorska Bay.

Author: Dr Senka Šekularac-Ivošević

·        The use of storytelling is today widespread in various fields. However, in the context of maritime affairs, the number of scientific and professional works dealing with this topic remains limited. The key elements of the tourism offer of Boka Kotorska – as a significant maritime tourist destination – especially its cultural and natural heritage - are often interpreted in a fragmented and less scientifically based manner. Boka Kotorska has, through history and collective memory, been recognized as a strong maritime community, which is clearly expressed in the identity of the local population. However, the maritime aspect of the destination remains insufficiently visible to tourists, especially in the context of the growing cruising offer. For these reasons, the motivation for this research arises – to develop a content-rich, culturally based, and marketing-attractive narrative, which will more strongly integrate the maritime heritage into the promotion of the destination.

Chapter 11:  11-Smart Tourism Sustainability with Information Systems Development.

Author: Ousanee Sawagvudcharee

·        The tourism industry has become one of the most important and influential globally thanks to modern technological breakthroughs. One of the newest technologies, artificial intelligence, is currently being used in many different industries. These components have combined to form "Intelligent Tourism," which is currently the most popular innovative travel trend. Intelligent systems are aware of their environment and learn from their actions to achieve certain goals. They are more commonly used to assist in data collecting, processing, and decision-making in the tourism sector.

For intelligent tourism to be successful, intelligent information systems must be effective enough to deliver accurate, relevant, and timely information to the appropriate individual. Giving tourists the information they need to comprehend the behaviour of intelligent tourism is essential. Although there has been a lot of research on next-generation intelligent tourism over the last ten years, most data indicate that none of the earlier studies has included a comprehensive literature review.

Chapter 12:  12-Food routes in the Dutch UNESCO Wadden Sea region

Author: Ben Wielenga MSc & Anke Arts MA

·        As we move into the 2030s, sustainability is expected to become a foundational element in the planning and growth of tourism destinations, moving beyond being merely an afterthought. Simultaneously, the rising impact of social media and new technologies will transform visitor interactions and engagement, that allows for more personalized and collaborative experiences that deepen connections with local cultures. Food routes, ideally enriched by engaging narratives and strong community involvement, are positioned to thrive within this shifting context. Our chapter explores the concept of food routes in the Dutch UNESCO Wadden Sea region, focusing on how local businesses engage with and perceive these initiatives. Drawing on qualitative research, we define and explain food routes and examine the motivations, advantages, and obstacles of food routes, highlighting their capacity to foster sustainable regional growth and celebrate authentic food heritage.

Chapter 16:  16-Posthumanist Photography as Slow Tourism in Ouistreham Riva-Bella

Author: Mark Stothard MA

·        Using photographic and recording technologies, this practice-led research investigates how slow tourism offers a deeper, more meaningful way to experience historic heritage landscapes - specifically, the Normandy beaches in France where the D-Day landings took place during World War II. As a photographer walking these beaches slowly and thoughtfully, aiming to show how time, space, memory, and human impact shape the way we see and feel these places, the approach implicates theories from posthumanism, affect and materiality.

Chapter 17: 17-Translations of Srečko Kosovel's Poetry into English as an Invitation to Literary Tourists

Author: Dr Jasna Potočnik Topler

Poetry plays a central role in intercultural communication and literary tourism, as it enhances empathy and offers insight into the human experience across cultural boundaries. Srečko Kosovel (1904 - 1926), known in Slovenia as "the poet of the Karst," is also recognised in the English-speaking world through his own works and their translations. His poetry, infused with idiomatic expressions and cultural references, presents not only a source of enjoyment and a challenge for readers, but also a significant challenge for translators, who must strive to preserve its originality and semantic integrity.

PhD in Contemporary Travel Writing

 PhD in Contemporary Travel Writing Syddansk Universitet Writing Travel in the Twenty-First Century: Mobility and Authenticity in the Planetary Emergency Travel is older than human civilization itself. Migration, trade, tourism and pilgrimage, all are forms of human movement that have existed for millennia. Yet travel is no longer what it used to be. Slow travel, flight shame, sustainable travel, eco- and anti-tourism, staycation and microadventures are but some of many recent terms testifying to a growing awareness that mobility has become inextricably intertwined with planetary concerns, regardless of whether it is the short distance of a commute to work, or that of long-distance globetrotting. With 2024 likely proving to be the hottest year on record and tourists evacuated by boat from uncontrollable forest fires on Rhodes in 2023, all the while tech billionaires promise us trips to Mars and hotels on the moon (while others perish trying to reach the Titanic), we are also told t...
