It compares tourism-spurred urban growth in Spain and Bulgaria, showing how development in Southern Europe after the fall of dictatorships provided a model for integrating post-socialist Europe in the 1990s. It analyzes the economic, cultural, and political dimensions of tourist economies, showing how they aligned with major European Union integration goals and were supported with EU development funds. It also chronicles the social and environmental costs of mass tourism where over-development has despoiled beachfronts and promoted low paying service jobs, reinforcing regional divisions in Europe between those who host and those who visit. Ultimately, it argues that while mass tourism is touted as a viable economic solution to EU inequality, it can potentially exacerbate disparities between core and peripheral zones, creating new and troubling forms of regional polarization. 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aUrban Studies/Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aUrban Studies/Sociology. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 676 $a338.47914 700 $aHolleran$b Max$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065379 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370046203321 996 $aTourism, Urbanization, and the Evolving Periphery of the European Union$92544909 997 $aUNINA
