An Historical Geography of Tourism in Victoria, Australia

More about the book

Focusing on the emergence of tourism in colonial Victoria, this book investigates the development of tourist sites and the evolution of the tourist gaze within a settler society. By applying classical tourism models to eight case studies, it examines how the transition from an 'era of discovery' to tourism occurred and how settler colonists shaped Victoria's tourist map. The work highlights the dynamic nature of Victoria's tourism landscape and emphasizes the need for further research to explore its rich natural and cultural attractions.
