dc.description.abstract	We have edited this volume as members of the Research Group on Literary Tourism (TULE), and each chapter was double-blind reviewed. This volume aggregates chapters written by nineteen researchers on literary tourism, and it focuses on two critical concepts in tourism studies: holiday and escape. Thus, this book serves as a catalogue of updated research on these constructs and aims to inspire researchers to expand the study of literary tourism. A holiday destination may be a village, a town, a city, a region, a country, or a site, and the motivations to travel to these destinations may include a wish to explore new places, experience culture, participate in leisure and recreation activities or escape. Escape is the second key concept of this book, and it is often indicated as one of the most predominant tourist motivations. Escape compasses the need to interrupt the flow of daily routine, seek new landscapes, avoid something, or experience a temporary change in individual roles or social structures. The literature on this topic distinguishes between «escaping from [e.g., the self]» and «escaping to [e.g., new locations]», and it identifies routine escapes, restorative escapes and dramatic escapes (e.g., as when fleeing a war zone). The desire to escape does not always result from a state of unhappiness. It may also originate in a need fostered by curiosity to experience new landscapes, i.e., new holiday destinations, or it may happen that change is an aim itself. That is why the need for escape is a propeller of various touring shapes, e.g., pilgriming or travelling to visit a particular geographical or cultural attribute. According to Cova and colleagues,3 this array of travelling shapes makes it difficult to make a cohesive and comprehensive theoretical background to describe all the shades of the phenomena.	eng
