The criticism directed at Zohran Mamdani over the alleged exclusion of Little Italy from NYC’s immigrant enclaves tourism map is an example of how heritage tourism can be distorted through misinformation and political instrumentalization. I wrote this article: open.substack.com/pub/martasol...

Apparently, at today’s No Kings protest in Las Vegas, several tourists chose to join in.This is very interesting. Not only it says a great deal about how people are feeling in this historical moment, but it reminds us of how temporary visitors can become part of local narratives. #sociologyoftourism

📻🎙️I was interviewed by KNPR on the community impacts of Formula 1 in Las Vegas. This is a complex sociological case study I have been following since the very beginning. In the interview, I highlighted the importance of balanced strategies that center around the community’s needs. shorturl.at/sCOsu

Should Formula 1 be extended on the Las Vegas Strip after its third?
The second Formula 1 Grand Prix race in Las Vegas was a hit, according to the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority. But the overall economic impact, according to Applied Analysis, was down.

A few weeks ago, I shared with the students of my “International Tourism” course this interesting, but worrisome, article. Key West in Florida has been studying how cruise ships docking affect the quality of water: it stirs up as much as sediment as a hurricane. www.npr.org/transcripts/...

Pensiero da docente. Le nuove generazioni vedono quotidianamente “chi ci rappresenta”: - interrompere chi la pensa diversamente - prendere in giro chi ha un’altra opinione - “prendere alla leggera” temi come la pulizia etnica Cosa imparano? A essere autorizzate, se non spronate, a fare lo stesso.

As a professor working with young people, I’m worried. If new generations keep seeing politicians: - interrupting people with opposing opinions - mocking who think differently - downplaying serious issues(like ethnic cleansing) What do they learn? To be authorized, if not encouraged, to do the same.

Articolo di Forbes su crociere e overtourism. Secondo la testata, le navi incontreranno sempre più ostacoli dovuti: 1) ai nuovi divieti di attracco, 2) ai limiti al numero di passeggeri, 3) all'aumento delle tasse portuali per turista. Di sicuro qualcosa va fatto. www.forbes.com/sites/rogerd...
