The negotiation of expectations in tourism is a complex and dynamic
process - one that is central to the imagination of cultural
difference. Expectations not only affect the lives and experiences
of tourists, but also their hosts, and play an important part in
the success or failure of the overall tourism experience. It is for
this reason, the authors argue, that special attention should be
given to how expectations constitute and sustain tourism. The case
studies presented here explore what fuels desires to visit
particular places, when and how enchantment with tourist
destinations begins, and to what degree expectations inform the
actual experience of place. Careful attention is paid as to how the
imagination of the visitors inspires the imagination of the hosts,
and vice-versa, how tourists and host communities actively imagine,
re-imagine, and shape each other's lives. This realization, it is
argued, has profound consequences, not solely for academic
analysis, but for all those who participate in and work within the
tourism industry.
