Tourism and Intercultural Exchange: Why Tourism Matters

by Alison Phipps and Gavin Jack

Book Overview

This book looks at how it is we do tourism and learn to be tourists when we are on holiday. Tourism is a dynamic way of being that may facilitate or hinder intercultural exchange. It draws on empirical work and a range of theoretical frameworks, arguing that tourism matters precisely because of the lessons it can teach us about everyday life.
