Abstract / Summary

Tourism scholars are well-versed on the “reservoir of cultural understanding” (Robinson, 2002, p.3) that has been depicted through the production of literature, the crafting of words, and the creation of literary places. Their understanding of literary tourism has evolved since Butler’s (1986) widely accepted study was published, and the themes and types of literary tourism began to emerge. The expansion of literary tourism knowledge has now been reviewed by many, including Çevik (2020), whose paper details a literary tourism framework and outlines the research potential of literary tourism for both literary sites and destinations. However, for others (Zhang & Ramayah, 2024), it is how these stories of place are shared where a mystery remains and may continue to linger due to the complexity of the storytelling process and the sustained financial pressures imposed upon Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) in the UK (Tourism Management Institute, 2025).
