`Argued with a real verve, it makes a plea to rethink the role of tourism in modernity seeing it not as a fleeting and marginal element, but as something enduring, emblematic and constitutive of contemporary society. Tourism is seen as a key element of modern life, not an escape from it' - Mike Crang, Department of Geography, University of Durham </p>

Tourism: An Introduction: </p>
</p>
- equips students with a critical perspective of the central processes of tourism and the relationship between tourism and culture</p>

- illuminates the relationship between tourism and nation formation, citizenship, consumerism and globalization</p>
- reveals the ritual, performative and embodied dimensions of tourist experience</p>

This book offers readers a major synthesis of modern thought on tourism. It breaks the mould of approaching tourism as a self-contained, compartment of contemporary life and treats it as a major and exciting cultural phenomenon. This is a landmark work in the study of tourism.</p>
