"Until recently, the study of tourism has largely ignored the experience of tourists themselves. When this has not been the case, the focus has mainly been on marketing. This unique volume follows on from the tradition of humanistic geography to examine tourism from an experiential perspective. By analyzing theories on tourism from anthropology, psychology and cultural tourism, it furthers the geographical debates on interactions which occur in tourism. This volume offers a geographical approach which looks at how travel forces the tourist to pay attention to a new place and how the resulting experience can reveal something of our relationship with places in general and also about ourselves."--BOOK JACKET.
