Dr Aggelos Panayiotopoulos

Liverpool Business School

My research focuses on tourism development adopting a critical perspective. Drawing on Political Discourse Theory, my work unpicks the political, cultural and spatial aspects of tourism and its impact on places and people. At present, I am researching the phenomenon of overtourism in a post-socialist context, and I am involved in research on heritage consumption and memories of migration, exploring intrapersonal and interpersonal processes in the (re)construction of heritage experiences.
