Alejandro Mantecón,

Urbanism, Landscape, and Tourism Studies

With provocative zeal and a certain irony, the anthropologists Claudio Milano and Jose A. Mansilla recover the well-known advertising slogan of the Marina d'Or tourist complex for the title of this collective work, whose cover features a smiling young man making a selfie in front of a wall that reads: Tourists Go Home. From a semiotic point of view, the proposal could not be more accurate and suggestive: the contradictions surrounding tourism are the object of this book.
