Meet-and-signing with Rémy Knafou on hypertourism, its impacts, and the need to regulate the sector. Discussion with the author and book signing.
Take part in a discussion on tourism followed by a book signing with author Rémy Knafou at the Cité de l’Économie. This cultural event in Paris is an ideal opportunity to attend a meeting with an author and have your book signed. While overtourism gets a lot of attention, it is in fact only a symptom. Behind this term lies a broader global phenomenon: hypertourism, which is profoundly transforming tourism practices and territories. This uncontrolled system has major effects on societies, tourist destinations, and the environment. From Chine to Antarctique, via Venise, Rémy Knafou offers an illuminating analysis of the overwhelming power of global tourism. During this meeting, the tourism geography specialist argues for the need to regulate sustainable tourism. Ending conflicts over use, improving coexistence between residents and tourists, preserving the habitability of the planet, and guaranteeing the right to holidays for all are essential challenges for the future of the tourism sector. A book signing session will give the public a chance to talk with the author and obtain a signed book, a special moment for lovers of literary events in Paris.
