DOWNLOAD EBOOKShip Ahoy! The guidebook "Cruises... in a different way 2019/ 2020" is aimed at all sea bears and crusaders who do not make organised shore excursions and would like to explore the ports on Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, Fuerteventura and La Gomera individually and actively. Let your heart beat faster and get to know the country and its people. The city tours lead you with detailed route descriptions and maps to the most beautiful and important highlights of the capitals. On Tenerife in the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife you dive directly into the exciting history of conquest of the Canary Islands. Under the Plaza España you look at ancient ruins of the Castillo San Cristóbal and the legendary cannon El Tigre with which the forearm of Nelson was shot down. In the Iglesia de la Concepción you can see the wooden cross that rammed Alonso de Lugo into the ground after the conquest. Culturally you get your money's worth in the museums MUNA with mummies, in the TEA, the La Recova and the Museo de Bellas Artes. Follow the carnival fools at Casa de Carnaval as they celebrate the 2nd largest carnival in the world. Don't miss the auditorium, the landmark of Santa Cruz. You can enjoy pure relaxation in the magnificent Parque Maritimo with its seawater swimming pool or in Playa de Las Teresitas. Relax in the 12-hectare Palmetum Botanic Garden or mingle with locals at the popular Plaza Weyler, Plaza de Los Patos and Parque Garcia Sanabria. Arrive in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and dive into the exciting underwater world of Poema del Mar, or take a refreshing dip in the award-winning Playa de Las Canteras. Wake up your thirst for discovery in the old town of La Vegueta. Here you will find the magnificent Basílica de Santa Ana Cathedral, the Museo Canario with Skulls, the Columbus House Casa Colón, the CAAM Art Centre, the historical Gabinete Literario Literature Cabinet and the pretty Palacete Rodriguez Queguez Palace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe aim of the Special Issue is to discuss the main current topics concerning marketing for sustainable tourism with reference to territories (i.e., tourism destinations, protected areas, parks and/or natural sites, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, rural regions/areas, etc.) and tourism enterprises and/or organisations (i.e., destination management organisations, hospitality enterprises, restaurant enterprises, cableway companies, travel agencies, etc.). In destinations where natural resources are pull factors for tourism development, the relationships among local actors (public, private, and local community), as well as marketing choices, are essential to develop sustainable tourism products. To this end, the Special Issue encourages papers that analyse marketing strategies adopted by tourism destinations and/or tourism enterprises to avoid overtourism, to manage mass sustainable tourism (as defined by Weaver, 2000), and to encourage and promote sustainable tourism in marginal areas or in territories suffering lack of integration in the tourism offer. Special attention will be given to contributions on the best practices to manage territories and/or enterprises adopting sustainable marketing strategies.

London’s Urban Landscape

ISBN-13: 1787355608
DOWNLOAD EBOOKLondon’s Urban Landscape is the first major study of a global city to adopt a materialist perspective and stress the significance of place and the built environment to the urban landscape. Edited by Christopher Tilley, the volume is inspired by phenomenological thinking and presents fine-grained ethnographies of the practices of everyday life in London. In doing so, it charts a unique perspective on the city that integrates ethnographies of daily life with an analysis of material culture. The first part of the volume considers the residential sphere of urban life, discussing in detailed case studies ordinary residential streets, housing estates, suburbia and London’s mobile ‘linear village’ of houseboats. The second part analyses the public sphere, including ethnographies of markets, a park, the social rhythms of a taxi rank, and graffiti and street art. London’s Urban Landscape returns us to the everyday lives of people and the manner in which they understand their lives. The deeply sensuous character of the embodied experience of the city is invoked in the thick descriptions of entangled relationships between people and places, and the paths of movement between them. What stories do door bells and house facades tell us about contemporary life in a Victorian terrace? How do antiques acquire value and significance in a market? How does living in a concrete megastructure relate to the lives of the people who dwell there? These and a host of other questions are addressed in this fascinating book that will appeal widely to all readers interested in London or contemporary urban life.
