ABSTRACT

Derek Alderman’s epilogue is simultaneously a summary of the book’s themes and a call for new research that invigorates our understanding of – and approaches to – social memory and heritage tourism. Most significantly, he hopes to see new combinations of participatory, digital, and more traditional methodologies that empower social actors and take into account the immense volume of crowd-sourced, online data that contribute to the production of social memory and the meanings of heritage tourism sites.
