Souvenirs are part of global and local travel and tourism in all corners of the world. This book portrays souvenirs as expressions of culture and as triggers of cultural change. The volume provides critique and theorisation of souvenirs of places, people and experiences in the context of lives lived at the margins of society, politics, tourism flows and urbanisation. Case studies in sustainable tourism illustrate dynamic ways that consumers and suppliers use souvenirs to respond to, resist and (re)interpret global and local influences upon cultures across informal, hybrid and formal economies.

This book is a 'must read' for scholars of sustainability, tourism development and cultural preservation. Innovative grounding in global-local theory is expanded by chapters that traverse individual motive (expectations, goals and values), tourist behavior, souveniring practice, cultural production, authenticity, green development; amongst others. Tourism and Souvenirs constructs original thinking about the influence of souvenirs in tourist motivation, destination image and the attributes that make up the desired tourism experience. Jenny Cave, Lee Jolliffe and Tom Baum have brought together state-of-the-art researchers whose conceptual insights are located in societal and geographic peripheries, but are nonetheless central to theory and practice of the tourism experience.
