Abstract
Scenic landscapes are a main attractor for local and international tourism, and
in many cases have become designated as protected areas such as national parks
or scenic areas that promote their aesthetic qualities to attract visitors. But what
directs touristic attention to certain landscapes, and to specific places within
such landscapes? We argue that in order to find out how touristic landscapes
come into being, we need to turn our focus on how such landscapes become
constructed as idealised landscapes.
