	Wenche Ommundsen TEXT Special Issue No 4
		Literary tourism, according to some commentators, provides a 'quick fix' literary experience; it appeals primarily to people who are too lazy, or insufficiently educated, to appreciate literature in its 'normal' mode of consumption, the silent communion between text and reader.
		The death of the author, in the discourse of literary tourism, means not the liberation of the text and the birth of the reader so much as an invitation to worship at the graveside.
		The adoration of famous writers, living or dead, is in the practices of tourism dependent on physical proximity: the body, or bodily remains, of the writer become the repository for literary genius, and paying homage becomes synonymous with experiencing, through one's own body, a sense of continuity and contact.

	Rural Information Center: Rural Tourism -- An Annotated Bibliography
		Developing tourism that works in concert with nature is a goal of sustainable development, which generally refers to development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (Rátz and Puczkó, 1998).
		A third major form of tourism is agritourism, which refers to, "the act of visiting a working farm or any agricultural, horticultural or agribusiness operation for the purpose of enjoyment, education, or active involvement in the activities of the farm or operation" (Lobo, 2001).
		Among the issues highlighted are the economic benefits and social impacts of tourism, participation by local residents in the tourism industry, and the threats to rurality posed by tourist activities.

		Although there are a great many literary surveys cataloging and analyzing stories and a considerable number cataloging and analyzing literary characters, there are only a few that attempt to tackle the third element of the natural triumvirate-place-and those few adopt an approach and a system of organization quite different from the one employed here.
		It would be unlikely to occur to a literary historian to begin a study of plots by cataloging and categorizing events in the real world with which various authors might have had some acquaintance, then examining literary works as modified representations of those events.
		His analyses examine both the methods of literary reference by which the naming of landmarks and a few carefully culled details combine to create the impression of a whole landscape, and the closely related methods by which key aspects of the areas thus put in place are "highlighted" with particular narrative significance.

		Even worse than the tourism, many here say, is the recent influx of literary wannabes.
		But Oxford likes nothing more than a good literary dust-up ("This may be the last town in America where people still get into fistfights over books," one writer here told me), and as it happens, Grisham's visit happened to fall right in the middle of several doozies.
		He assumed that Faulkner's family -- and Oxford's literary community -- would embrace the idea of a statue of the reclusive writer on the town's central square.

		The Itineraries of the Literary Park pass through a large part of the old city, including the Tomasi family residence and Villa Boscogrande, used as a set for some scenes in Visconti's film.
		The Palermo seat of the Literary Park is located just behind the historical Piazza Marina, close to the palace where Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa spent the last part of his life.

		Demolitions and renovations of central London in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were interpreted by topographers and antiquarians in ways that made "literary London" essential to the idea of a modern city.
		This demolition and rebuilding of the city over the nineteenth century coincided with a growing interest in London's "disappearing" material and architectural heritage, an interest that was organized by the end of the century into groups devoted to recording traces of old London.
		Concomitant with the making of a "historic" London was the making of a "literary London." The houses of the literary great were integral to the "historic" character of London: the London municipal government commemorated dozens of writers' houses with plaques and many writers' houses were "rescued" from demolition by being turned into literary museums.

	H-Net Review: Catherine Cocks on The Tourist City (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Tourist City debunks the once common views that tourism is either unworthy of serious study or an exemplar of the evils of mass culture.
		Tourism, the editors argue, is an important part of the global economy, but more than that, is a sign of the emergence of a "post-Fordist" era.
		Among the issues raised in these pieces are the roles of government and private corporations; the possibilities for small businesses; the transition from elite to mass tourism; and decisions about whether to cater to "families" or "adults." The authors address the impact of tourism on local traffic, housing, and labor as well.

	Dissertation Abstract
		While travel had traditionally been a prerogative of the upper classes, middle-class and even working-class tourism brought, perhaps paradoxically, both a democratization of travel and a new cultural vocabulary for the articulation of class difference (expressed most fundamentally in terms of how and where one traveled).
		My approach is literary insofar as I take the process of assigning cultural significance to be a creative one onto which poets, novelists, and other "creative" writers offer a particularly vivid window.
		Howitt's cosmopolitan tourist performs a triangulation of culture (especially poetry), rural life, and national identity: landscape and literature, defined in nationalistic terms, reciprocate in a process of mutual authentication out of which a sense of national identity is both constructed and affirmed.
