Summary:

"This insightful Handbook explores the relationship between tourism and gentrification, focusing on the post COVID-19 era. It examines the conceptual links between these two social phenomena, outlining the spaces in which tourist gentrification has taken place and its consequences. Expert authors discuss how the mutually beneficial relationship between tourism and gentrification has expanded in the post-pandemic world. They identify the different spaces where tourist gentrification occurs, such as historic districts, cities and metropolises, as well as analysing specific settings including urban nightlife, red-light districts and commercial areas. Chapters delve into detailed case studies such as the touristification of Lisbon's nightlife, luxury tourism in the Alpine region, and WangHong (digital influencing) gentrification in China. The Handbook emphasises the global nature of tourist gentrification alongside its regional variations and sheds light on positive initiatives to sustainably develop tourism. Students and scholars of tourism, heritage studies and urban, social and cultural geography will greatly benefit from this timely Handbook. It is also a vital resource for policymakers and practitioners in urban planning and architecture"-- Provided by publisher.
