Tourism Studies represent a well-established fi eld that has signifi cantly contributed to the conceptualization of travel and holidays as relevant social and cultural phenomena of the 20th century. Indeed, such phenomena produced an important value chain along with new practices and habits. In the context of Tourism Studies, coastal tourism has been widely investigated, although scholars have paid more attention to the beach experience than to pleasure boating or cruises. Today, the European Union, United Nations and World Bank recognise tourism as one of the components of the so-called “Blue Economy”, attributing to it an important role in the challenge for sustainability. It is up to historical research to design new paths able to embrace the concept of sustainability (social and cultural) and conceptualizing a connection between the sea and the coast within tourist destinations, understood as geographic areas with administrative boundaries, where an image of the place exists in tourists’ mind, experiences are available for visitors, a coordinating organization operates, a community of stakeholders and residents live and work.
Keywords: seaside tourism, pleasure boating, sustainability, mass tourism, Blue Economy
