'This book substantially advances our understanding of human-place interactions and the nature of the human-place relationship in tourism research with implications for addressing various challenges facing tourism destinations in the world today. It should be required reading for social scientists, tourism practitioners and policy makers.' Larry Dwyer, Visiting Research Professor, Business School, University of Technology, Sydney 'With great insights on topophilia and place authenticity studies, this refreshing book walks the reader through theoretical discussions on sense of place and place attachment and their relevance to humanistic geography and tourism, together with interesting examples and cases drawn from various cultures and contexts.' Bihu Wu, Professor and Director, International Center for Recreation and Tourism Research, Peking University
