{"title":"How the New Deal built Florida tourism: the Civilian Conservation Corps and state parks","authors":"Barrie Blatchford","doi":"10.1080/1755182X.2021.1890352","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1755182X.2021.1890352","url":null,"abstract":"Europeans to come to Czechoslovakia in the early Cold War years, it was practically impossible for US citizens. Pedersen also deals with the individual stages of tourism development. He states that even as late as 1980, Western tourists perceived Eastern Europe as an unknown and almost exotic territory. Two more studies need to be mentioned to fully appreciate the weight of the whole publication. The first one is Michal Fejtl’s chapter, which fills the gap in the historiography regarding Czech and Slovak spa resorts. Although he concentrates on a case study of the spa town Mariánské Lázně in West Bohemia, his findings can be applied to most spa areas in the rest of the country. The author includes intriguing details about the stays of domestic and foreign visitors. Special attention is paid to the East and West Germans’ visits, and their mutual celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989. The other study is Petra Schindler-Wisten’s chapter, which adds an essential element to the volume – the relatively widespread Czech phenomenon of cottages and weekend houses, which has retained its importance among the Czech population to the present. As the author states, some 12 percent of Czech households have a recreational property – one of the highest among European nations. The authors use very cultivated language, making the text convenient to read for both the academic community and the broader public. As part of the effort to offer a factually dense text, the authors, Mücke in particular, include period-style jokes and anecdotes in the text, but their randomness is sometimes disruptive. Quoted statements by narrators that are repeatedly used by other authors are appreciated as historical testimonies, but some of them are quite superfluous in the context of the narrative. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the reviewed publications fundamentally fill a gap in the research of Czech/Czechoslovak history after 1945. The results reveal knowledge about various forms of tourism, regulations, and management in the communist regime. It is necessary to appreciate the transmission of new information to the reader and the scientific verification of what was previously considered ‘common knowledge’, personal memories of older generations, or curiosities in popular articles. The authors transformed these into a comprehensive framework adding significant value to contemporary historiography.","PeriodicalId":42854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism History","volume":"13 1","pages":"101 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1755182X.2021.1890352","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44383671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Opened in 1992, the restaurant and hotel present a romanticisation of the South embodied in foodways, architecture, and a fictional past that selectively sources the history of the region. Through the themed design principle of ‘concentricity’, the foodways of Boatwright’s Dining Hall operate in overlapping areas of cultural meaning to reciprocally authenticate the resort’s fabricated historical architecture and southern heritage in an idealised and immersive space known as a hyperreality. Named menu offerings at Boatwright’s Dining Hall connect the resort’s past and setting by memorialising the resort’s fictional founders and crafting associations with recreated southern spaces popularly connected to the region. As an authenticating experience, touristic consumption of food at Boatwright’s Dining Hall functions as a real and edible manifestation of a place-based commodified imagining of the nineteenth-century South, linking the dinner, restaurant, and hotel to a southern-inspired, fictional past and place, effectively displacing historic and present connections to the real US South.","PeriodicalId":42854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism History","volume":"13 1","pages":"29 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1755182X.2020.1852323","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48381398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Into Russian nature: tourism, environmental protection, and national parks in the twentieth century","authors":"C. Noack","doi":"10.1080/1755182X.2021.1898146","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1755182X.2021.1898146","url":null,"abstract":"Some reviewers of Alan Roe’s Into Russian Nature, and I am no exception, use the term ‘fascinating’ to characterise his monograph. It is a truly breathtaking story about Soviet nature and protected areas, and Soviet environmentalists and their quixotic struggle with bureaucratic and ideological windmills. It is a story about Soviet scientists, their plans and dreams related to national parks and nature conservation. It is also about the birth of the green movement in the USSR and its connections with the West, and about the phenomenon of Soviet tourism, as well as about disappointments and crushed hopes. The book is based on a vast range of primary sources: Roe uses data from the Russian state, local and private archives, newspaper publications, interviews with participants and photos and maps. The book consists of three parts, the first covering the history of the struggle for national parks, the second presenting stories of four Russian national parks, and the third part being dedicated to the situation in the country in the early 1990s and including the author’s reflections on the crisis of the entire system of protected areas. Roe begins the narrative with the idea of protected areas that originated in the Russian Empire. In the first four chapters, Roe does not lay out the history of Soviet protected areas from year to year, but rather briefly outlines key events and milestones. His statement that the ‘Russian national park story ... does not fit neatly into traditional political chronologies’ (p. 7) is applicable for the last 30 years; however, the Soviet period in the history of protected areas shows otherwise. The history of Soviet nature reserves (zapovedniki) is closely connected with the political history of the country. The industrialisa-tion of the 1930s led to a shift from nature conservation to its active use. The Stalin purges of the 1930s affected the staff of protected areas and the repres-sions of the early 1950s, along with the ‘doctors’ plot’ and the ‘Mingrelian affair’, resulted in a massive reduction in the number of nature reserves. Some of these areas were restored during the Khrushchev thaw, when the USSR joined the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1956, but by 1961 there were already new reductions in the system of protected areas and a general ‘tightening of the screws’ followed. The connection between the development of tourism and Soviet and later Russian nature reserves and national parks is the cornerstone of Roe’s monograph. He traces throughout the book two opposing ideas among Soviet environmentalists. Some advocated the protection of nature from hordes of tourists with their ‘destructive rituals’ (p. 55), loud songs, drums, guitars,","PeriodicalId":42854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism History","volume":"13 1","pages":"95 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1755182X.2021.1898146","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49632365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This branding resides undemocratically within its national consciousness and highlights a few select elements of Greece’s storied history and culture at the expense and deliberate exclusion of other facets, a process that skews the country's sociocultural development. The overwhelming economic reliance on tourism and the hospitality industry, as Greece’s largest by revenues and one of its biggest employers, places the country on a capricious publicity treadmill that undergirds the nation-branding project: ‘positive’ images that attract foreign tourists and ‘negative’ news that repel them and therefore severely impact its economy. This paper examines the role news publicity plays on tourist flows into Greece and discusses the degree to which positive or negative news impact the country's touristic marketplace, particularly news stories involving the extraordinary refugee crisis in Greece in 2015–16. It considers who best ‘narrates’ Greece as a socially imagined entity to the world: governing, social and business elites responsible for nation-branding’s image construction, or ordinary citizens who embody the nation-state in its quotidian reality but who have little if any stakehold in this process?","PeriodicalId":42854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism History","volume":"12 1","pages":"275 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1755182x.2020.1829102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45316683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on the argument that tourism as a form of modern leisure is associated with consumption, wherefore consumerism and tourism are interconnected phenomena. While also arguing that labour and leisure are entwined, the article studies the mutually constructive relationship between work and leisure through the perspective of holidays and the consumption of goods and services in the form of trade-union tourism and cross-border shopping. As regards the tourism sector development process, this article also fills a gap in our understanding of the intersection between domestic and commercial tourism.
