Negotiating landscape in rural tourism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that there is a general re-orientation in landscape perception from "spectacularization" towards "multi-sensing" and argue that while actors hold different positions and attitudes, all of them unite in their concerns about landscape change and in their desire to preserve food traditions and local produce.
