Drawing upon theories of landscape and performance, this work
weaves together existing tourism literature with new scholarship to
forge a geographically informed theory of tourism. Such a theory
integrates the ways in which places are co-produced, circulated,
interpreted, experienced, and performed for and by tourists,
tourism boards, and even as everyday spaces. Bringing together
theories of ritual, Peircean semiotics, ideology, and performance,
the authors blend the often separate literatures of tourism sites
and touristic practices. Whereas most tourism texts focus on a part
of the 'tourism equation'-the tourism site, or the tourist
experience-a geographic theory of tourism brings these constituent
parts together in thinking about notions of place. Place processes
are central to geography as well as tourism studies because tourism
facilitates encounters with distinct locations. As this book
argues, considering tourism as performative draws disparate areas
of tourism theory together to better understand the ways tourism
happens in and across places.
