Rediscovering cultural tourism: cultural regeneration in seaside towns
UPDATE: This article is now available for free download from here.
I’ve just had this article published in the Journal of Town and City Management. The abstract is below. If you’d like to know more about this paper and don’t have access to read it online, please get in touch.
“British seaside towns have been subject to numerous attempts at regeneration and rebranding since the collapse of traditional seaside tourism began in the late 1970s. This paper reviews contemporary approaches to seaside regeneration and demonstrates that cultural regeneration strategies are becoming increasingly prevalent in this area. The validity of transferring city-based models of cultural development to these smaller urban areas is critiqued. The history of cultural investment in seaside towns is highlighted to show how current approaches to cultural regeneration, while presented as novel, are in fact a resumption of earlier strategies of cultural tourism development. This heritage of cultural development provides a resource for seaside cultural regeneration which may allow development of this type to avoid the negative social impacts often associated with cultural regeneration in cities.”
Hi James,
Just trying to get access to your article to make a case study of the turner contemporary for an exam at the university of manchester on cities and consumption. But our university doesnt seem to have access, is there any way to get hold of the article? thanks

Hi there,

Thanks,

Hi James,
I have been unable to access this through my university, however, for my dissertation I’m currently looking into regeneration in seaside resorts. Would there be any way you could send me a copy? my email address is charlie.smith@northumbria.ac.uk
Many thanks,

That bloody paywall nonsense! The abstract sounds very interesting James. I work in Wigan which has a terrific cultural heritage, but it is completely undervalued by those that live and work there. However, I’m convinced that there is a market for ‘experience tourists’ seeking a distinctive and unique experience that only a hometown’s culture can deliver. Arts, crafts, food and drink, that sort of thing.
Cultural investment is something I have been doing for a few years now and i would like to compare notes if you are ever up north!
All the best, Mike.
Thanks for the comment, Mike! I’ll email you a copy of the paper…
Hi James
I am doing some research for my History of Art MA which is looking at the rise of seaside art galleries and I would be very interested to read your article. I cannot seem to find it via the usual sources, would it be possible to forward it to me.
Many thanks. David
Thanks for the interest David, could you drop me a quick email to j.s.kennell@gre.ac.uk? Thanks!
Hi James, I’ve tried every way imaginable to download your article, and met with a dead end! I’m doing a masters in International events management at Brighton university and part of my dissertation will be about the socio-cultural impact of events as part of the regeneration of Hastings. Could you point me in the right direction please? or email me with it? Thanks so much!
Could you send me this article please? would be very helpful for my masters dissertation
thanks
