Abstract

Tourismus ist ein globales Phänomen, das Jahr für Jahr Millionen Menschen in seinen Bann zieht. Über die Auswirkungen des Tourismus auf Volkswirtschaften wissen allerdings nur die wenigsten Bescheid. Dieses anschauliche Buch von Volker Letzner beleuchtet in vollständig überarbeiteter und aktualisierter Neuauflage die touristische Destination als "kleine Volkswirtschaft" in einem "Schauspiel in sechs Akten", das auch den ökonomisch weniger vorgebildeten Leser gut verständlich Schritt für Schritt durch die touristische Angebots- und Nachfragetheorie, die Allmendeproblematik sowie regionalökonomische und außenwirtschaftliche Aspekte führt. Wichtige Begriffe stellt der Autor in zwei umfangreichen Glossaren dar, Zusammenfassungen, Leitfragen und zahlreiche Abbildungen helfen dabei, das Gelernte optimal zu vertiefen.

Abstract

This is the first book to explore the relationship between tourism and spices. It examines the various layers of connection between spices and tourism in terms of destinations, attractions and cuisines. The book reveals how spice-producing destinations are employing spices in destination branding and encouraging spice farms to move towards tourism, while destinations not producing spices are employing spices and herbs in distinctive local cuisines. Both tangible and intangible spice heritages are highlighted as tools for developing destinations, creating attractions, inventing new forms of livelihoods and distinguishing local, regional and national cuisines. This volume will be useful for researchers and students in cultural tourism, culinary tourism, anthropology of food and food history.
