The Creative Tourist is a groundbreaking work that brings together four diverse areas of academic scholarship: creative tourism, sociology, well-being, and new materialism. By recognizing the profound interconnectedness between materiality and human sensuous experiences, the book aims to explore the relational nature of the tourist experience in collaborative, heritage-based activities. Authors Xavier Matteucci and Melanie Smith delve into the multifaceted dimensions of creative tourism, positioning the creative tourist within various tourist typologies and modes of experience.
This comprehensive volume extends the growing body of knowledge on creative tourism by drawing from new materialist philosophy to discuss social eudaimonia as a happiness concept. Instead of focusing solely on individual flourishing, social eudaimonia emphasizes collective well-being. This innovative approach sheds light on the potential for tourism to contribute to social and environmental sustainability.
The Creative Tourist is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, university lecturers, creative entrepreneurs, and research communities interested in exploring creative experiences within contexts such as leisure, lifestyle, cultural tourism, slow tourism, responsible tourism, ethical and sustainable aspects of tourism, social tourism, and destination management. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on the evolving landscape of creative tourism, providing valuable insights and perspectives for future scholars and practitioners.
