Summary: Although blurred and heavily contested, the concept of 'tourist destination' still deserves careful attention. Despite its unstable characteristics, 'destination' is a central and meaningful term in play among all parties in the field of tourism, including tourists, tourism operators and politicians, as well as students and tourism scholars. This anthology draws on different approaches and discourses of tourism destination development, while focusing on how they are shaped and reshaped and how they should be read and rehearsed.
