Along with basic practical reasons, our practices concerning food and drink are driven by context and environment, belief and convention, aspiration and desire to display - in short, by culture. ...Similarly, culture guides how tourism is used and operates. This book examines food and drink tourism, as it is now and is likely to develop, through a cultural 'lens'. It asks: what is food and drink tourism, and why have food and drink provisions and information points become tourist destinations in their own right, rather than remaining among a number of tourism features and components? While it offers a range of international examples, the main focus is on food and drink tourism in the UK. What with the current diversification of tourism in rural areas, the increased popularity of this type of tourism in the UK, the series of BSE, vCJD and foot and mouth crises in British food production, and the cultural and ethnic fusion in British towns and cities, it makes a particularly rich place in which to explore this subject. The author concludes that the future of food and drink tourism lies in diversity and distinctiveness. In an era of globalisation, there is a particular desire to enjoy varied, rather than mono-cultural ambiance and experience. She also notes that there is an immediacy of gratification in food and drink consumption which has become a general requirement of contemporary society.

A nation's heritage is one of the most potent forces for generating tourism: the Tower of London is the greatest 'visitor attraction' in Britain. But it is pushed into insignificance by comparison ...with the visitors travelling to Disneyland, Epcot and the other entertainment complexes in the USA; and it will be dwarfed by Euro-Disneyland east of Paris. So how should heritage attractions respond: should they find their own specific audiences and resources? This book, written by a leading hertage specialist, is essential reading for all those concerned both with heritage and leisure managment. International in scope, it examines successfgul examples of heritage management for tourism, and equally some failures. It aims to lay some useful ground rules which should underpin all heritage developments designed to attract tourism on a major scale.

Book
Heritage routes and itineraries are mechanisms being used towards tourism needs and objectives. This paper defines these routes, reviews their context, and considers some examples in Europe. It looks ...at the 'why' and 'how' of heritage routes being established, and shows the inputs that tourism causes and needs. The particular dimensions to routes and what they bring and require are discussed. The associated demand of networks and networking is discussed and the potential beneficial aspects are described. The especial capacity of itineraries to bring about cross-boundary dialogue and interaction are highlighted and the wider potential of this feature for global society is alluded to. The need is suggested for more research into the use, outcomes and effects of routes.

Journal Article
This paper will look at the entities of World Heritage and tourism in background and then as they are interacting and having an impact upon another, at the time of the millennium. World Heritage will ...be evaluated as it appears to be being conceived, and through the philosophy and ideas which are governing proposals and choices of World Heritage Sites. The identification will be of the effects and outcomes as they pertain to, and connect with, tourism.
The aim is to assess and evaluate tourism and heritage activity in the hinterland of southern France, by contrasting it with that along the seaboard to the front. This is to produce lessons and offer ...suggestions about suitable general concepts, methods and approaches for tourism in backland areas. The objectives are to show ideas and suggest guidelines for the establishment and conduct of tourism operations in a suitable manner for application in peripheral areas, and to display heritage's role. Peripherality will be discussed as an entity. It will be shown how, in a periphery, tourism may be used for development and regeneration, for delivering economic and social wellbeing, while heritage stewardship and care of the environment are encouraged, and with sustainability as the ideal.
