Tourism as an experience and an industry is infused by culture in
its various dimensions, and influenced throughout by relationships
of power; this is particularly apparent at the destination site.
Anthropological investigations give rich insights into power and
culture through ethnographic fieldwork, comparative analysis and
theoretical explanation. Within this timely and groundbreaking book
case studies come from Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe,
Africa, Australia and South East Asia. It is divided into two
sections dealing with tourism and the power struggle for resources;
and tourism and culture: presentation, promotion and the
manipulation of image. Chapters explore issues as diverse as
terrorism, ethnicity and World Heritage Sites, and the role of the
analysis of power in tourism studies. They illustrate how culture
shapes tourism development, is commodified, and becomes a tool in
political and economic strategies and struggles.
