Royal tourism : excursions around monarchy

There are multiple and complex relationships between royalty and tourism which have received little attention in the academic literature. This book draws on historical, sociological and cultural perspectives to examine the royal tourism phenomenon in several international and theoretical contexts. Authors in this volume examine subjects such as: the history, development and trajectories of royal tourism; royal tourism and national identities; the interpretation of royalty to tourists; the image(s) and representations of royal tourism; tourist perceptions of royaltyand royal properties and sites; royalty, tourism and national image, identity and citizenship.
