Reviews

This highly readable collection of essays brings together well-crafted and insightful viewpoints concerning the integration of tangible and built heritage within the practices of tourism. The volume deepens knowledge about archaeo-tourism, illicit trade, nation-building, mass tourism and the ongoing politics of representation. It is a terrific and much-needed resource - particularly given the lack of academic attention the relationship between tourism and archaeology has thus far received. * Emma Waterton, Western Sydney University, Australia * This volume will certainly appeal to anyone interested in the role of tourism in protecting and promoting archaeological heritage assets. Contributors from both tourism studies and archaeology raise important dialogue about the fundamental relationships between tourism and archaeology of critical relevance today, making this an important read for scholars, practitioners and communities alike. * Alison McIntosh, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand * At last, a scholarly discussion on archaeology-based tourism! This wonderful collection of chapters is thought-provoking and a welcome addition to the literature. The discussion is concise, comprehensive and challenging. A key element of the discourse is a call for the tourism industry to respect archaeological resources by using them respectfully and sustainably. A must-have addition to any serious collection of scholarly books on tourism. * Bruce Prideaux, Central Queensland University, Australia *
