Commemorative events
Commemorative Events emphasise remembering. They are held on the anniversaries of significant past events, either annually or after significant time periods. Commemorative events provide fascinating insight into how societies see themselves, their heritage and their identity. These events however carry high propensity for controversy as memory and identity are highly subjective and other stakeholders hold different views of what should be commemorated and why.
This is the first book to provide an in - depth critical examination of commemorative events, particularly what they mean to societies and how they are used by governments as well as impacts on other stakeholders. The book fully explores these issues by reviewing all the major types of commemorative events including, nationhood or independence, wars, battles, famous people and cultural milestones from varying geographical regions and stakeholder perspectives. By doing so the book furthers understanding of these types of events in society as well as furthering knowledge of social and political uses and impacts of events.
This thought provoking volume will be valuable reading for students, researchers and academics interested in events.

Tourism and national parks : international perspectives on development, histories, and change
\"In 1872 Yellowstone was established as a National Park. The name caught the public's imagination and by the close of the century, other National Parks had been declared, not only in the USA, but also in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Yet as it has spread, the concept has evolved and diversified. In the absence of any international controlling body, individual countries have been free to adapt the concept for their own physical, social and economic environments. Some have established national parks to protect scenery, others to protect ecosystems or wildlife. Tourism has also been a fundamental component of the national parks concept from the beginning and predates ecological justifications for national park establishment though it has been closely related to landscape conservation rationales at the outset.

Tourism, mobility, and second homes
Second homes - the cottage, the summer house, the bach - are an important part of the tourism and leisure lifestyles of many people in the developed world. Second homes are therefore an integral component of tourism experiences in rural and peripheral areas. Yet, despite their significance not only for tourism but also for rural communities and the rural economy, relatively little research has been undertaken on the topic until recent times. This volume represents the first major international analysis and review of second homes for over 25 years. It will provide a significant resource for those interested in changing patterns of tourism and leisure behaviour as well as the use of the countryside and peripheral areas. The book describes the economic, social and environmental impacts of second homes as well as their planning implications and places such discussions within the context of contemporary human mobility. The volume represents essential reading for those interested in rural regional development processes and the development of new rural leisure landscapes.

Food, Wine ... Heritage, Identity? Two Case Studies of Italian Diaspora Festivals in Regional Victoria
Festivals have a particularly important role in rural areas struggling to arrest or prevent economic decline and seeking to develop vibrant, livable communities. Some of these places are looking to their immigrant past for inspiration, given that Australia has a rich history of immigrant
settlement in rural areas, and are developing festivals or events that leverage off a distinctive cultural heritage linked to a diaspora community. This article examines two Italian-themed festivals in regional Victoria, Australia, and their use of diaspora heritage as a source of distinctiveness
and potential competitive advantage for tourism purposes, as well as the role played by the diaspora-themed festivals in the local community. Findings, based on detailed semistructured interviews with 12 members of the organizing committees, and participant observation during site visits,
suggest that these events, while helping to shape a sense of community or place identity for these diaspora communities, also attract some tourists with little or no connection to the diaspora in question. The appeal of the events to ethnic \"outsiders\" lies in their perceived authenticity
and nostalgic references as well as the increasing allure of Italian culture and lifestyle. The article also provides an analysis of some of the challenges associated with theming a festival around diaspora heritage, including issues of contestation and measurement of its role in building
strong communities.

Australia Unlimited? Environmental Debate in the Age of Catastrophe, 1910-1939
Between the First and Second World Wars, Australia was under significant social, political and economic pressures. It has been generally argued that these problems stifled environmental debate, encouraging governments to look to large-scale development schemes for solutions. In turn,
the few critics of these schemes were ruthlessly attacked as not having the national interest at heart. This article contests this interpretation of the period. It argues that there was an environmental debate, with a wide range of interests pushing for conservation, the development of National
Parks and limits on these development schemes.

On the Trail of Errol Flynn: Explorations in Autoethnography
To attract tourists, destinations are increasingly developing products based on film and other popular culture connections. These include tours, museums, visitor centers, statues, and walking trails. This article examines the recently developed Errol Flynn Trail in Hobart, Australia.
Utilizing an autoethnographic approach, we analyzed how the Trail worked, the stories it told, and the tourist experience it provided. Our findings suggest that the Trail provides a rich and satisfying experience for visitors interested in the Golden Age of Hollywood movies in the 1930s and
1940s. There is a strong connection between Errol Flynn and the destination, and as the Trail is linked to sites of Flynn's early years, it provides access to a detailed and nuanced back story of the actor's life and notoriety. The tragic elements of this story add to the authenticity and
level of parasocial interaction of visitors, and there are elements of cocreation of the experience, as visitors are likely to be passionate about this period rather than just casual participants. These types of self-guided walks offer the flexibility to go off trail or allow visitors to spend
as long as they like at one site. Further research should explore the demand for and nature of these self-guided experiences, particularly in a media-induced context.

From Backlot to Runaway Production: Exploring Location and Authenticity in Film-Induced Tourism
Films may represent one place but be made at another. In the early years of filmmaking, quite elaborate sets were constructed on studio backlots. In recent years, runaway productions have represented the United States while being shot in other countries. The dissonance between film
setting and film location raises the question of which is more likely to attract tourists. It also suggests that tourists may have difficulties with authenticity. This article seeks to examine these issues by taking a historical approach to the changing ways in which location has been used
by filmmakers over time.

Projecting an Image: Film-Induced Festivals in the American West
Film and television are major forces in shaping destination image and encouraging tourism visitation. A growing literature reports on how film and television either directly attract tourists or are incorporated into destination marketing campaigns. However, there has been little research
examining how film and television may be used in festivals and events and how destinations may actively use such festivals as a medium for creating their destination image. This article considers film-induced festivals in the small American towns of Lone Pine and Jamestown. Both have been
extensively used as film locations since the 1920s, primarily for Westerns. Lone Pine has been the location for over 350 films, and Jamestown has been the location for 150 films. Through film-themed festivals, these towns have reshaped their destination images as idealized and romanticized
Western locales. In contrast, other aspects of their heritage have been downplayed, causing some dissonance between stakeholders.
