ABSTRACT Travel guidebooks are often rich with information concerning cultural heritage. This paper discusses the results of research concerning the historical and artistic content of Polish guidebooks published during the nineteenth century. This research covers both the textual content of these publications as well as the illustrations included in them. Analysis of Polish guidebooks is presented within a broader context of tourism development and guidebook literature during the period under study. This makes it possible to demonstrate many similarities between Polish and foreign guidebooks as well as to illuminate how knowledge regarding cultural heritage is transmitted. The article addresses the description of monuments and works of art, the use of various terminology, the values perceived in material heritage, and the iconography present in the illustrations in the guidebooks studied.

ABSTRACT This paper is a contribution to the international history of tourism concentrating on Spain and more precisely on the specific tourist region of the northern coast, the Cantabrian Cornice. The central-eastern sector of the northern Spanish coast, which followed a pattern somewhat similar to other European locales, notably Brighton and Biarritz, became an elite tourist area and one of the earliest tourist destinations in the country in the first third of the twentieth century. Although there were earlier precedents dating to the mid-nineteenth century, it was during the early twentieth century that tourist development in the cities of San Sebastián and Santander coalesced, creating an enticing and coherent leisure region. The most privileged members of Spanish society, as well as foreigners from both Europe and America, were drawn to the area. The continual presence of King Alfonso XIII and the royal family, the support of local entrepreneurs and bourgeoisie, and the promotion of such sports as yachting, horse-racing, tennis, and golf encouraged this process. Specialisation in tourism also impacted significantly on the urban development of both cities.

ABSTRACT This article highlights the contributions of a biographical database called ‘Biolemano’, which contains information on 1761 tourism players in the Franco-Swiss region of Lake Geneva between 1852 and 1914. The result of more than ten years of research conducted at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), this digital tool offers innovative research perspectives in the history of tourism by making it possible to grasp the complexity of a regional tourism system in its entirety. The analysis focuses on the collective and individual actors of the three main components of the tourism offer, namely accommodation, transport and entertainment. It reveals the importance of protagonists who have remained in the shadows until now, such as bankers, traders, lawyers and engineers. Another objective is to initiate a more global reflection on the functioning of a regional tourism system by questioning the endogenous or exogenous dominance of the development model. In the end, the study allows us to understand some reasons for the success of regional tourism, which flourished in an impressive way during the Belle Epoque.

ABSTRACT Travel guidebooks are an important component of the world’s popular information infrastructure, which alone justifies their study. In this article I examine four early post-war travel guides to the Philippines in terms of how they depict the Philippines and its peoples, as well as their construction of an imagined reader and the ties between that reader and the wider social context of their production, in this case neo-colonialism, the Cold War and the rise of a more independent kind of tourist in the 1970s.

ABSTRACT This study focuses on the characteristics and activities of the ‘agricultural way of life’ in the development of the ‘agritourism’ in Tra Que vegetable village (Hoi An, Quang Nam) and to identify the level of tourist participation and their satisfaction in traditional agriculture activities. The questionnaire survey was conducted on 71 households and 100 tourists in Tra Que vegetable village (Hoi An, Quang Nam). After that, the author conducted in-depth interviews with 20 households and 3 groups of tourists to validate the data and semi-structured interview (SSI) of 3 people. The results showed that the diversity and distinctive characteristics of Tra Que’s farming lifestyle have significantly affected tourists’ engagement and satisfaction. One of the main determinants of the appeal of tourists to Tra Que vegetable village is the agricultural lifestyle. Local authorities and citizens should pay more attention to the experience of tourists in developing agritourism facilities in a traditional agrarian way. This is a key consideration for the potential growth of sustainable agricultural tourism in the vegetable village of Tra Que.

ABSTRACT In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, European tourism overseas often developed in the wake of colonial expansion and European hegemony. This was the case with Cairo, which developed into a main tourist location for well-to-do Europeans during the nineteenth century. Colonial interests and modernisation projects turned the Egyptian capital into a centre of both colonial and tourist endeavours, drawing ever more Europeans to visit the ‘land of the pyramids’ and the ‘cradle of mankind’. These tourists returned home with images of ancient and modern Egypt, of European rule and colonial power. This article focuses on Czech tourists visiting Cairo from the late nineteenth century and throughout the interwar period, considering their involvement in Cairo as ‘noncolonial tourism’. Based on the concept of ‘imaginative geography’ as used by Derek Gregory, Czech tourists followed general European categories of ‘West’ and ‘East’, or of ‘Europe’ and ‘non-Europe’ when describing Egypt in their travelogues. While they identified with the ‘West’ and ‘Europe’, they also scripted a colonial Cairo that was foreign to them. In contrast, they constituted a ‘Czech Cairo’ as a counterpart, which allowed the travellers to stay outside the rigid colonial logic of ‘coloniser’ and ‘colonised’ to some extent.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the role of nationalism and propaganda in the development of tourism in interwar Hungary through a case study of Hotel Palota, a luxury hotel established in 1930 in Northern Hungary. Historical legitimation played an important role in the development of the hotel, as the goal was to construct a resort that represented the glorious national past of Hungary as well as revisionist aspirations in the form of symbolic elements scattered throughout the hotel and its immediate environs. Contemporary discourses interpreted the prestige investment of the new Hungarian state in a variety of ways, from being a replacement of the Tatra Mountains that had been annexed to Czechoslovakia following World War I, to constituting a sacred space and national pilgrimage site, to being a subject of antisemitic and classist contention.
