Cities and visitors : regulating people, markets, and city space

---

This book had its genesis in a research collective, the International Tourism Research Group (ITRG), funded by the Council for European Studies. Although tourism had become an increasingly important sector of the global economy and shaper of cities, scholarship had yet to treat it with the seriousness accorded to other urban topics. Our aim was to place tourism within a theoretical perspective so as to enable comparative research. Our group, made up of eminent urban scholars from a number of countries, met three times. Our first meeting was held in Amsterdam in April 1998; we subsequently met in Montreal and in Barcelona. The meetings were considerably enhanced by the tourism opportunities presented by the three cities in which we conferred and the stimulating company of our conferees.

At our last meeting we decided to place tourism and travel within the framework of regulation theory.We struggled together to fit empirical data within a theoretical framework that would allow the complexities of scale and the multidimensionality of factors with which we were engaged to remain intact. The individual chapters of this book, which originated as papers presented at this conference, reflect our ongoing effort toward analytic clarity.
