Sustaining Tourism, Sustaining Capitalism? The Tourism Industry's Role in Global Capitalist Expansion (2011, background): “Harvey (1989), for instance, observes that excess capital may be reabsorbed into the system by means of a variety of different spatial and/or temporal displacements or ‘fixes’, thereby (temporarily) forestalling an overproduction crisis.”
Inclusive tourism development (2018, background): “…to the local population, they limit opportunities for local entrepreneurs to benefit by selling goods or services to tourists, and they result in high levels of leakage of tourist spending, with much going to foreign hotel chains and travel agents (Britton, 1982; Gibson, 2009; Scheyvens, 2011).”
The political economy of tourism development: A critical review (2017, background): “Further occluding the precise focus of political economy analysis in tourism is the ‘kaleidoscopic character of tourism capitalism’ (Gibson, 2009: 529), and the concomitant difficulty of exerting ‘property rights over tourism experiences’ (Williams, 2004: 62).”
Virtual reality, presence, and attitude change: Empirical evidence from tourism (2018, background): “Tourists are tempted by the allure of places and 50 landscapes; some mainly driven by desire to experience the visual sensations of distant territories 51 (Steenjacobsen 2001), others by the deeper meaning behind interacting with the sociocultural aspects of 52 tourism destinations (Gibson 2009).”
