This book examines the main issues and concepts relating to heritage, screen and literary tourism (HSLT) and provides a comprehensive understanding and evaluation of these three forms of tourism in the context of global tourism development. It analyses the demand and supply of HSLT within the frameworks provided by service-dominant logic and value creation to enable a critical perspective on how HSLT tourist experiences are created, produced and shaped. The volume explores the challenges which relate to the role of the consumer in the co-creation of the tourist experience, and the implications this has for the development, marketing, interpretation, consumption, planning and management of HSLT. It will appeal to researchers and students of heritage tourism, film and literary tourism, media-driven tourism, tourism planning and destination development and management.

By linking literature and film with heritage and expressing it in terms of tourism, this publication presents a significant addition to the tourism literature and one with which all scholars need to be familiar. Agarwal and Shaw have provided us with a comprehensive and well-argued analysis which adds to our knowledge and sets the scene for further studies in other cultural contexts.
