ABSTRACT Overtourism is often seen as a modern phenomenon without a history. Drawing on the parliamentary proceedings of the Belgian Chamber of representatives, this paper explores how concerns about crowding and carrying capacity already fuelled a protracted parliamentary debate about camping in Les Trente Glorieuses (1945–’75). Even though ‘tent cloth vacationing’ was seen as an important tool to democratise tourism, it was not always applauded in the Belgian hemicycle. Urged by the powerful lobby of hotel and restaurant owners, conservative representatives emphasised the many inconveniences of camping – zeroing in on the loose morals, the bad hygiene, the lack of environmental planning, the ecological threats – and pressed for more regulation. At the same time, these arguments were unmasked by social democrats as a smoke screen to curb the ‘unruly’ proliferation of campsites. In Belgium, the debate was deeply influenced by the limited carrying capacity of the North Sea coast. With barely 40 miles of coastline, Belgium was short of natural resources. It fuelled a policy whereby priority was given to hotels and holiday homes, while camping was curbed or left to its own devices.

ABSTRACT International migration and tourism developed into cornerstones of modern societies and have many common features: they generally pass through the same routes, are served and controlled by similar actors, and often depend on each other as for instance with the prevalence of migrant labour in the tourism industry. Despite these entanglements which sometimes blur the lines between tourists and migrants, there has been very little scholarly attention aimed at connecting both fields, not least from a historical perspective. Using sources generated by the Foreigners Police, a body responsible for monitoring all non-nationals in Belgium and expelling ‘undesirables’, this article analyses how mobility controls addressing tourists and migrants evolved in Ostend, one of the most prominent European tourist resorts during the nineteenth century. This article tests how mobility controls in resorts deviated from national guidelines and explores whether security concerns about controlling foreigners weighed up against economic benefits derived from international mobility. How did authorities differentiate tourists from migrants and to what extent did mobility controls of migrants overlap and differ with those addressing tourists? By exploring the entanglements between mobility and migration controls the article seeks to encourage tourism and migration scholars to engage in broader debates.

ABSTRACT In late April 1989, Naples played Hellas Verona for the mid-Italian Football Championship. In response to racist insults from the opposing team, Neapolitan supporters silently unfurled a huge banner stating that one of William Shakespeare’s famous characters, Juliet, a figure closely associated with Verona, was a woman of easy virtue. Word of the banner quickly spread worldwide. People from across the world of soccer declared it to be one of the most brilliant and exhilarant banners in the history of football, highlighting the central role of the heroine in shaping Verona’s international image. Despite this, prior to the 1990s the romantic myth was not exploited as a tourist attraction since it diverged from Verona’s self-representation. Using documents from local archives, extensive interviews with key actors from the local tourism board and a variety of secondary literature, this article traces how the evolution of local socio-economic processes encouraged Veronese authorities to adopt a brand hitherto neglected: the ‘City of Love’. The shift redefined Verona’s identity while promoting its economy worldwide. Local authorities made the city a destination for ‘romantic pilgrimage’, raising this product from little more than a niche market to big business.

ABSTRACT While ostensibly relying on the dynamic of inclusion, the tourism industry also capitalises on the allure of difference, with racial difference in particular being central to some destinations’ appeal. Racial categories have also impacted the practice of tourism, determining who can travel, how they can travel, and where they can go. This round table discussion brings together seven scholars to consider how issues of race shape tourism.
