    Valene L SmithARTICLETourism Recreation Research2008References: 3

    Branson, a community of 8,000 permanent inhabitants, situated on the hilly Ozark Plateau of southwestern Missouri, in southerly mid-central USA, is an anomaly. Most world-famous music centres develop in cities with large government- supported venues. In Branson, with 60,000 seats and over 70 live shows per day, most theatres are performer-owned. In the past half century Branson has evolved from an early hunting-fishing tourism area into its ackno…

    Open AccessValene L SmithARTICLENAPA Bulletin2005Cited by: 1References: 5

    Anthropology and tourism melded at a symposium at the 1974 American Anthropological Association meeting in Mexico City, believed to be the first social science discussion of tourism in the Western Hemisphere. Tourism has increased dramatically to become one of the world's largest industries, and anthropology has also extended its interests in theory and methodology. Few articles have linked career options for anthropologists to the tourism workpl…

Recognising this urgency Visitor Guidelines have been adopted by all of the US ship tour operators to be made available to all visitors travelling wit…

    Valene L SmithARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1992

    The near-meteoric increase in international tourism in the past four decades has attracted the attention of world leaders and benefited a global travel of industry. Unfortunately, to date most American universities have failed to recognize the importance of tourism as a field of study. Training has been limited primarily to hotel and resort management or to two-year programs geared for entry-level airlines and industry service personnel at a few …

  • Geographical Implications of “Drifter” Tourism Boracay, Philippines

    Valene L SmithARTICLETourism Recreation Research1990Cited by: 3References: 5

    Modern “drifter” tourism was first identified in the 1960's with the drug-cult “hippies” whose overland travels to Nepal left a socially disruptive trail. In the 1980's an affluent itinerant young population from industrialized countries moves from one tropical beach to the next-Ceylon, Pattaya (Thailand), Mombasa, Boracay-leaving behind prostitution, alcoholism, juvenile crime and narcotics. The geographical consequences of their presence in Bor…
