Destinations: Songs for Place and Tourism Management

This work integrates songwriting and academic research to explore the current challenges in managing (tourism) places. The emotional power of music propels a critical investigation into contemporary seaside, urban and rural destinations, and the ambiguities affecting their sustainable development. This journey frames tourism as a context where we can better scrutinize the contradictions of capitalism or overlook them, since we are distracted by the charming playfulness of travel consumption.
