Affective Tourism

<p><em>Affective Tourism</em> explores how and in what ways affects emotions and drives are felt and performed in tourism encounters in places of socio-political turmoil such as Jordan Palestine/Israel and Iraq. It offers a new way of theorising tourism encounters bringing together critically examining and expanding three areas of scholarship: affective and emotional geographies psychoanalytic geographies and dark tourism. It provides in-depth analyses of the interconnections between tourism danger and conflict understandings that can lead to more socio-culturally and politically-sustainable approaches to planning development and management of tourism.</p>
