It provides a sociological and anthropological critique of existing tourism theory as well as some directions for its future development and research. While much of the present understanding of the tourist and tourism is grounded in metaphor (e.g. tourism as a sacred journey, tourism as play, the tourist as a child, etc.) such analogies need to be linked to transformations in tourism generating and receiving societies. Hence the focus on the tourist and everyday life, socio-psychological dimensions of the tourist experience, the tourist and conflicting expectations, and the tourist in a changing world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Graham DannGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
