Travel Writing for Tourism and City Branding provides tourism students with a practice-based approach to producing researched literary travel writing on an urban destination, using the writing process as a research tool in itself. The book is scientifically supported with full academic references for researchers.


DMOs and Tourism Students

City councils and destination managers are seeking new ways to commission and sponsor content authors as part of place-branding projects for tourism development. Given the increasing value of such content within the tourism industry, this book provides a cohesive overview of literary travel writing, presenting it as an inquiry process that can be applied by researchers to spaces that have value to them. 

Travel writing is presented as a methodological process that researchers can apply to their own projects, both in academic settings and in commercial city branding. Examples of literary travel writing are carefully examined throughout the book. Enriched with a wealth of case studies, chapters are presented in such a way that learners can take the work as a model for their own projects.

Imagining Tourists and Tourism Conference - Paris 19-21 June 2024 Aims of the Conference The conference aims to explore the links between tourism and fiction, and more precisely to consider tourism and tourists as fictions. It is part of a series of conferences organized since 2011 by researchers from the Universities of Geneva, Panthéon-Sorbonne and Berkeley to explore the links between tourism and the imaginary.

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. The new 3-step processual research methodology is explained through a case study with stakeholders and project leaders in Brežice, Slovenia. The paper contributes to pragmatic tourism management concerns and practice by reporting findings from a real-world process project on cultural heritage that provides a re-usable solution.
