This title provides a dynamic perspective on tourism, often characterized by specific places and temporalities, to understand its evolving spatial patterns. The first part explores the origins – everyday places like daily markets, flea markets, urban neighborhoods, that have attracted tourist attention and have gradually undergone new developments in their ordinary patterns. The second part delves into the aftermaths – former tourist spaces transitioning beyond the realm of tourism and becoming integral parts of everyday life, study, or work. Chapters examine the implications for local societies and explore this contemporary phenomenon of former tourist attractions becoming commonplace and ordinary, as well as ordinary places acquiring a tourist dimension. The hybridization of tourist practices and everyday practices is also explored through a series of international case studies and examples authored by renowned and interdisciplinary academics.

This edited volume will be of immense interest to upper-level students, academics, and researchers in tourism, urban studies, and land use planning.
