New Tourism in the 21st Century
This book analyses the cultural elements of 21st-century tourism. The structure of the book is based on four main issues, which will help further the reader’s understanding of present-day experiential tourism: namely urban and cultural tourism on a global scale; specific studies of new products linked to reappraising the landscape; heritage; and nature. It also examines the influence of branding and of the images projected in order to promote this new type of tourism, using both theoretical and general approaches. Finally, the Camino de Santiago is analysed as a paradigm of the new pilgrimage routes all over the world, with their implications and polysemic nature. Culture, nature, spirituality and urbanism are brought together in a series of studies of contemporary tourist activities. Tourism is, in short, an activity that marks the return of slow movement, of calm and relaxation, of the landscape and of self-rediscovery as a reappraised counterpoint to the frenetic pace of life in modern-day societies.
Beyond sentidiño
Beyond Sentidiño: New Diasporic Reflections on Galician Culture is an interdisciplinary study of Galician literature, languages, and cultures. The volume brings together essays from fields across the humanities and social sciences to foster a discussion that incorporates new concepts that, as of now, are not part of the imaginary of Galiza: gentrification, language imperialism, youth unemployment, deruralization and deindustrialization, media control, technocapitalism, and gender and sexual normativity. It also serves to moderate a conversation about how independence from the political, material, and sociocultural networks of autonomic Galiza allows diasporic scholars to think of Galician culture in a de-essentializing manner. Working and living in the diaspora provides a lens through which to unmask the hegemonic neocolonial and neoliberal representation and reproduction of Galicianness promoted by different social, political, and mediatic powers.
Tourism
Tourism was booming until 2019 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Since then, tourism and related industries have suffered from negative economic impacts. This book examines current challenges and opportunities in the tourism industry using case studies from different parts of the world. It also examines the challenges and obstacles faced by the tourism sector due to lack of environmental policies, high crime rates, and poverty.
Museums and the Working Class
Museums and the Working Class is the first book to take an intersectional and international approach to the issues of economic diversity and class within the field of museum studies. Bringing together 16 contributors from eight countries, this book has emerged from the significant global dialogue concerning museums’ obligation to be inclusive, participate in meaningful engagement and advocate for social change. As part of the push for museums to be more accessible and inclusive, museums have been challenged to critically examine their power relationships and how these are played out in what they collect, whose stories they exhibit and who is made to feel welcome in their halls.

Destinos turísticos: viejos problemas ¿Nuevas soluciones?
Esta publicación recoge una cincuentena de aportaciones referidas al turismo, al ocio y a los espacios de recreo. La potente capacidad transformadora relacionada con la actividad turística hace necesario debatir, no sólo sobre las características y problemáticas del desarrollo turístico de los últimos años, sino también sobre la virtualidad de las estrategias y actuaciones acometidas, con la finalidad de evaluar su impacto territorial, económico y social. Tomando los destinos turísticos como principal eje argumental, ponencias, experiencias de interés y comunicaciones, plantean las complejas relaciones e interdependencias entre turismo y territorio en los destinos urganos, los espacios rurales/ interior y los litorales. Se trata, en suma, de una aportación, desde la Geografía, orientada a propiciar una reflexión serena sobre el papel del turismo en las dinámicas territoriales y sobre las características de los territorios turísticos que estamos construyendo en estos comienzos del siglo XXI.
