Scholars of many persuasions recognize the experiential features of
geography, which have been largely overlooked in tourism
researches. Partially in response to this omission, this book
presents a phenomenological exploration of tourist travel
experience. By describing the experiences of two separate groups of
Canadian tourists travelling to and inside China, the study
examines the educational dimension of tourism. Phenomenology has to
do with the origin of our experiences, such as anxiety, behaviour,
religion, place and topophilia, which we cannot understand through
observation and measurement -- we must first live through them to
grasp these experiences as they really are. Therefore, in
decipering the meanings of tourism texts, phenomenology can be an
effective method as it allows us to contact phenomena while
actually experiencing them.
