Tourism studies and media studies both address key issues about how
we perceive the world. They raise acute questions about how we
relate local knowledge and immediate experience to wider global
processes, and they both play a major role in creating our map of
national and international cultures. Adopting a multidisciplinary
approach, this book explores the interactions between tourism and
media practices within a contemporary culture in which the
consumption of images has become increasingly significant. A number
of common themes and concerns arise, and the contributions included
are divided between those: written from media studies awareness
perspective, concerned with the way the media imagines travel and
tourism written from the point of view of the study of tourism,
considering how tourism practices are affected or altered by the
media that attempt a direct comparison between the practices of
tourism and the media. Incorporating case study material from the
UK, the Caribbean, Australia, the US, France and Switzerland, this
significant text - ideal for students of culture, media and tourism
studies - discusses tourism and the media as separate processes
through which identity is constructed in relation to space and
place.
Tourism studies and media studies both address key issues about how
we perceive the world. They raise acute questions about how we
relate local knowledge and immediate experience to wider global
processes and both play a major role in creating our map of
national and international cultures. The Media and the Tourist
Imagination adopts a multidisciplinary approach to explore the
interactions between tourism and media practices within a
contemporary culture in which the consumption of images has become
increasingly significant. The contributions are divided between
those written from media studies awareness, concerned with the way
the media imagine travel and tourism; those written from the point
of view of the study of tourism, which consider how tourism
practices are affected or inflected by the media, and those that
attempt a direct comparison between the practices of tourism and
the media. A number of common themes and concerns arise with
particular emphasis upon the image as the object of consumption.
collection is also concerned to mark out their different approaches
to the structuring and organizin of experience and the way in which
this leads to a dynamic interchange between them. Tourism and the
media are discussed as separate processes through which identity is
constructed in relation to space and place.
