 Using a Qualitative Science Approach to Reveal the Tourism Potential of a Story from History: Where Regional Science Meets Heritage-Based TourismMichael Fagence ()
A chapter in Regional Science Perspectives on Tourism and Hospitality, 2021, pp 143-163 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The study in this chapter investigates the special case of telling stories from history through tourism. It has adapted some of the important advocacies from regional science that are designed to achieve improved levels of awareness of both the nature and the implications of systemic interactions among resources. To inform the process of analysis, this study has engaged with perspectives from a range of selected compatible disciplines from the qualitative sciences, and it has drawn on the skill-sets from those disciplines to expose resources that are value-adding and that contribute to heighten the levels of significance and distinctiveness for the purposes of tourism attraction. What is revealed is a spatial pattern of spot attractions, nodes and clusters suited particularly to the scale of the tourism sub-region.
