Cheese as a food souvenir in Sicily

2022

From heritage to hyper-reality? Tourism destination development in the Middle East between Petra and the Palm

2010

Tourism destination development in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has been remarkably strong in the last few years, but different types of destinations vary in terms of degree of success.

The expansion in the latter destinations has been enhanced by the construction of new development projects such as El Gouna, Ibn Battuta Mall, Burj Al Arab, and The Palm Islands. Drawing on the work of Eco and Baudrillard, this article interprets these …
