Rethinking Tourism Gentrification (en Inglés) - Kevin Fox Gotham

Identifying unexplored areas at the nexus of tourism gentrification, Gotham rethinks the binaries that are predominant in conventional tourism and gentrification research. Chapters also address the impact of short-term rentals, platform capitalism, neoliberalization and financialization on processes and patterns in tourism gentrification. Ultimately, the book illustrates the analytic value of tourism as a conceptual and heuristic tool for progressing beyond discipline-centric debates to promote research on tourism development in cities, gentrification and urban life.

This is a beneficial resource for scholars and students of hospitality and tourism studies, human geography, urban studies, sociology and criminology. It will also be a helpful read for urban planners, particularly those looking at the intersections between tourism, development and crime.

In this timely book, Kevin Fox Gotham assesses the advantages and limitations of current theorizations and empirical examinations of tourism gentrification. He challenges conventional understandings and raises novel questions about the interaction of government policy, tourism development and gentrification.
