Reviews for Heritage Tourism in China (TOURISM & CULTURAL CHANGE)
The book is considered a good source of academic reference, as it results from a long and rigorous research project. As such, it offers a thorough literature review of major relevant concepts, a comprehensive conceptual framework and numerous interviews with different stakeholders of the study sites. It is noteworthy that the content related to identity building, modernization, governance and planning of Chinese heritage tourism may also appeal to general public interested in Chinese heritage.
Thi Hong Hai Nguyen, Macau University of Science and Technology, China
Journal of Heritage Tourism, 2017
This is a book that goes further than any before to propose a theoretical framework backed by solid practical knowledge and experience of heritage tourism in China. A source of rich data and well-researched case studies, it is the first single-authored work to tackle this topic in a candid manner and I highly recommend it.
Hilary du Cros, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
Hongliang Yan has produced a deep, historical and philosophically informed study of the development and governance of heritage tourism in China that reveals complex synergies and tensions between tradition and modernity, continuity and change. The focus and framework that underpins this excellent and important book will be of critical interest to students, policy-makers and practitioners of heritage tourism.
