How do we re-theorize tourism? By drawing less on the Foucauldian
notion of 'tourism as gazing' and instead focusing on the social
construction of meaning in the landscape, this insightful book
provides an innovative and compelling new approach to tourist
studies. Arguing that in any view of the landscape and in tourism
generally there is a multiplicity of insider and outsider meanings,
the book grounds tourism studies within the framework of social
theory, and particularly in the social theoretic approaches to
landscape. Bringing together specialists in tourism and landscape
studies to discuss the relationships between the two, it finds that
issues of identity are a common thread and are raised with regard
to the social construction of landscape and its portrayal through
tourism. The international studies range in scale from regional to
national, personal to political, and from local residents to
international tourists, highlighting the multiplicity of
interpretations and meanings between these scales.
