This book attempts to confront spatial, performative and cultural
interrelations between tourism and social economic behavior by
providing a critical platform for the articulation of touring
consumption in our contemporary world. Tourism has become a
significant area of scholarship especially given the industry’s
product development opportunities on a global scale. However, the
emphasis placed on such research has largely been from a
supply-side perspective. What needs to be explored is the shift
towards the agencies of the tourist or traveler as consumer and
consumption as being embodied as a moment of practice in continuous
states of touring.
