The fact that tourism is a major global industry forecast to continue its dramatic growth well into the twenty-first century is often cited as a rationale for its analysis. However, while the connection between individual locations and the world´s global markets is an obvious product of tourism, the heart of the tourist experience is the construction of identity: the relation of the traveller to resident populations; the participants´ views of themselves and others; tourists´ search for authenticity and their testing of boundaries. This book significantly furthers current debates on tourism by asking important and vexing questions about the nature of the tourist experience: ´folk museums´ that forget many of the ´folk´ who live in the areas represented; the environments and events that are shaped to meet the ´imagined dreams´ of tourist spectators; the categorization of visitors and returnees who take up residence and participate in the construction of ´local´ identities; the evolving meanings associated with indigenous culture, tradition, heritage, representation, reality and authenticity. In renegotiating the definitions of tourism for the new millennium, this book represents a major contribution to an emerging and highly topical area of study.
