Biography
Biography I have contributed to establishing heritage tourism as a significant interdisciplinary research area, leading the construction of new knowledge through publishing in top journals and writing a textbook- Heritage Tourism by Routledge (2014), which has been adopted worldwide as a core text for heritage and tourism programmes. My research interest includes heritage tourism, identity and social memory, sustainable heritage tourism, heritage and peacebuilding, heritage and wellbeing, the role of heritage and arts in climate change discussions, urban heritage and critical tourism pedagogy. I focus on the potential of heritage tourism as a driver for reconciliation and resilience through individual meaning-making by the creation of narratives and experiences. My research is published; Annals of Tourism Research- 3 sole-authored papers, Tourism Management, Current Issues in Tourism and Academy of Management Learning & Education.

Overtourism in World Heritage cities in Asia-PacificAs a policy advisor, I contributed to the development of cultural heritage tourism strategies across key cities in Asia. I advised on the creation of heritage trails in Denpasar, Bali, as a shift from the destructive force of mass tourism development. I also consulted on managing overtourism challenges in Seoul and Bangkok, focusing on sustainable tourism practices to protect local communities and environments. Additionally, I supported the strategic development of heritage tourism for Gongju, South Korea, where my recommendations helped highlight the city’s historical assets while promoting sustainable heritage tourism.
