Résumé:

Venice is viewed from a new perspective, offers a heady, one-city tour of tourism itself. Conducting readers from the beginnings of Venetian tourism in the late Middle Ages to its emergence as a form of mass entertainment in our time, the authors explore what happens when industrial tourism collides with an ancient fragil culture.
