Commercial Nationalism and Tourism - Selling the National Story

This book combines academic analysis and critical exploration to examine national narratives in the context of tourism and events. It explores how particular narratives are woven to tell (and sell) a national story and closely examines how national texts create key archival imagery that can promote tourism and events and shape national identity.
