Abstract

Mediterranean waterfronts owe their origins to trade and industrial activity and are often associated with maritime transport. Due to the resultant activity, such waterfronts evolved into major maritime cities and examples include Marseille, Barcelona and Valletta amongst others. In recent decades such cities experienced decline and then revival. Moreover a number of Mediterranean city-ports previously used for industrial purposes, have nowadays been transformed into major tourism attractions. This chapter is a brief overview of the main attributes of waterfronts and the role they play in tourism activity, focusing in particular on Mediterranean waterfronts.
