Place branding and marketing practices are now prominent in cities, states, nations, regions, and organizations all over the world.

Presenting various methodologies, approaches, and implications of place branding and marketing across differing social, cultural, political, and economic conditions, this book will be of use to scholars and students in public. administration, tourism studies, and business administration as well as professionals and practitioners in the public branding and marketing field.
