Description

Second homes (variously summer houses, shacks, baches, cottages, dacha) are a popular cultural phenomenon in many countries and an emerging trend in others.

They are inextricably linked to tourism, recreation and leisure, and yet the fundamental relationship between second homes and leisure often appears to have been overlooked by researchers in the area.

This book seeks to address this absence, bringing together an exciting collection of research from around the world.

Drawing on examples from Canada, Japan, Morocco, Costa Rica, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, this book highlights the interdisciplinary nature of second home research in the leisure field.

The book describes the nexus of second homes and leisure from a variety of perspectives: planning and policy, historical, social and cultural.

It is an essential work for those interested in new cultural viewpoints on second homes and leisure practices.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Annals of Leisure Research.
