ABSTRACT
Diverse forms of tourism are reshaping the city as they are responding to structures and stimuli produced by global and local regimes of capital accumulation. The resulting “localization of leisure” has stimulated, as much as tourism, the conversion of spatial arrangement and changing morphology. The morphology of tourism is a multidimensional concept that reinforces physical transformation within the urban environment. It contributes to the emergence of a sphere in which physical transformation is highly visible guided by a variety of principles. The morphology of tourism is a nascent broadening of perspective into a more integrated approach by policy makers and practitioners. The study of urban morphology and tourism revolves around the notion of habitus, where the spatial development has become fluid by taking everybody together from facilities, roads, health, and leadership. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
