• Resumen

  • Drawing upon recent themes within tourism management, this chapter explores interesting and challenging approaches to the management of Islamic tourism destinations. It takes a closer look at some of the intricacies of Islamic tourism and its management but the priority here is to approach seemingly 'given' terms in this sub-discipline with caution, criticality and an awareness of the audience. The Taj Mahal is used as an illustration to demonstrate how destinations are not fixed in time and space, and draw attention to how meanings, narratives and representation around destinations/sites/events can be altered for a range of motivations.
