The Asia Pacific region’s enormous diversity of living cultures and preserved heritage sites has significant appeal to many tourists. However tourism has grown so rapidly that many issues associated with the incorporation of cultural and heritage experiences in tourist itineraries (such as authenticity verses commodification, exploitation of national cultures, impacts on local communities, and the management of heritage resources) have not been adequately addressed and must be debated. This revealing book reviews recent developments in cultural and heritage tourism in the Asia Pacific region and provides a discussion on how communities have faced and overcome significant challenges to develop and market their culture and heritage resources. A range of models and case studies are used to deepen the reader’s understanding of heritage and cultural issues, to illustrate many of the more controversial issues, and to examine new evaluative, and planning tools. This book is a special issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Tourism Research.
This book offers a deep exploration of architectural and urban heritage, using interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches to assess how historical, social, economic and political factors have impacted heritage development and its sustainability. It sheds light on the stakes of heritage conservation, management and maintenance in today’s globalised world. Through detailed studies of historic cities, the book explores both the tangible aspects of their built heritage (urban fabric, housing design, construction methods and materials for thermal comfort) and the intangible components of local communities (including identities, cultures, religions, values and ways of life) in diverse case studies in Egypt, France, India, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia. By addressing not only urban and architectural heritage but also socio-cultural, environmental and political issues—including economic challenges and climatic concerns—this book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers across fields, including architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, sociology and philosophical anthropology.
“Bombay Daak: Discovering the Kolis of the Seven Islands” In the bustling heart of modern Mumbai lies a rich tapestry of history, culture, and tradition, interwoven with the timeless rhythms of the Arabian Sea. This is a story of the Kolis, the indigenous fishing communities whose legacy dates back to the time when this vibrant city was but a collection of seven islands. As the world rushes forward into an era of rapid urbanization, it becomes ever more crucial to look back, to uncover the roots that nourish the ever-growing tree of Mumbai's identity. Bombay Daak is a journey into the heart of this coastal culture, a cultural odyssey that takes us beyond the gleaming skyscrapers and neon lights to a world where the sea's embrace is both livelihood and lifeline. The Kolis, whose lives are intricately bound to the ebb and flow of the Arabian Sea, offer us a glimpse into the history, traditions, and challenges that have shaped their unique way of life. As we embark on this journey, we find ourselves exploring the nooks and crannies of Mahikawati, the capital established by King Bhimdev on Mahim Island in the 13th century. We walk the sandy shores where fisherfolk have cast their nets for centuries, feel the rhythm of ancient melodies, and savor the flavors of their culinary heritage. We encounter stories of resilience, community bonds, and a deep-rooted connection to the sea that transcends generations. Bombay Daak is not just a story; it is an invitation to engage with the Kolis' past, present, and future. It is a bridge between the modernity of Mumbai and the enduring traditions of its coastal natives. It is an acknowledgment of the Kolis' significance in shaping the city's cultural mosaic and the challenges they face in an evolving urban landscape. Through this book, we hope to celebrate the Kolis' contributions, honor their heritage, and highlight their aspirations for the future. We invite you to journey with us, to discover the Kolis of the Seven Islands, and to gain a deeper appreciation of the rich history and culture that continue to thrive amidst the bustling metropolis of Mumbai. Welcome to Bombay Daak. Your voyage of discovery begins here.
