| Abstract: | To create attractions, the literature on tourism development in converted cities or new districts of polycentric cities emphasises planned processes. This often results in standardised tourism zones. The demands and experience of tourists are often neglected. Qualitative research with overseas visitors to new tourism areas suggests that character and sense of place that visitors enjoy derives from a combination of unlike elements where everyday life plays an important role. The emphasis in some areas is conviviality among different groups of city users. |
