- This book, the result of 2 ½ years work, is primarily based on a study, which examined the staging of authenticity in sixteen different historic cities in England. The thesis used semi-structured interviews with tourism practitioners and Volunteer-Employed-Photography, a technique where tourists contribute visual and textual data (100+participants, 1200 photographs). The conceptual, empirical and methodological conclusions and the different case studies identified within the work inform every chapter of the book, which further developed many of its central theoretical arguments.
