"Yearning for the British Raj"
This case study of Raj tourism is based on a postcolonial discourse of nostalgia that applies the language of tourism to the "Old Talk" of Empire when Britain once ruled the waves. Various facets of Raj tourism are semiotically explored in relation to the correspondence between motivation and promotion in order to more fully appreciate the process of understanding tourism itself. Typical areas of cultural communication that are inductively analyz…
Paradigms in tourism research
This paper analyzes the nature and consequences of paradigms in tourism studies. It is somewhat unconventional in that its co-authors have not sought to produce a synthesized finished product. Rather, they have rendered their different perspectives visible through the structuring of the paper as a trialogue. It commences with Tribe's thesis that tourism studies is not governed by a restrictive paradigm at the field level but that at a societal le…
Do Tourists Travel for the Discovery of “Self” or Search for the “Other”
This exclusive department is created to include findings of special significance and to identify areas of subtle research nuances through mutual debates, discourse and discussions. Elenctic method is used wherein knowledge progresses through articulation, cross-examination and rejection of spurious hypotheses.

Probing the Historical Context of Research Probes
Opinion is a readers' column that aims at providing feedback to the editor on the quality of the journal by commenting upon the issues such as thematic coverage, readability, problem solving approach, presentation and usability of content.

Tourism smellscapes
An over-emphasis on the tourist gaze tends to disregard the fact that the unique character of a place can additionally be imparted by its aromas. Yet because olfactory sensations are so difficult to describe, it is necessary to turn to writers who can effectively communicate the scents of destinations and their people to those who visit them. While several of these authors have a predilection for the countryside, there are many more that manage t…
The tourist as a metaphor of the social world
This text contains a selection of papers from the Research Committee on International Tourism presented at the World Congress of the International Sociological Association, Brisbane, Australia, July 2002. It provides a sociological and anthropological critique of existing tourism theory as well as some directions for its future development and research. While much of the present understanding of the tourist and tourism is grounded in metaphor (e.…

The Process of Sociocultural Continuity [and Comments and Replies]
Almost since its inception, anthropology has had a major concern with sociocultural traditionalism and innovation. This paper argues that the terms "tradition" and "change" have created a dichotomy that is counterproductive for understanding how sociocultural systems are utilized by real people to deal with real events. Rather, we should stress the dynamic of continuity wherein "old" and "new" are defined according to the situation at hand. The e…
Tourism as an Anthropological Subject [and Comments and Reply]
This paper provides a critical evaluationof the growing number of anthropologically oriented studies of tourism and proposes a conceptual framework for future studies. A cross-culturally viable definition of tourism is offered. This definition, which conceives of the tourist as a person at leisure who travels and of tourism as a variety of leisure activity, suggest a transactional view of tourism that involves an encounter between tourist-generat…
«The holiday was simply fantastic»
How often have we heard in answer to the question "How did you enjoy your holiday?", the inevitable reply "It was simply fantastic." Perhaps, knowing the answer in advance has dulled our intellects from further investigating the fuller meaning of such an expression, namely that holidays are essentially experiences in fantasy. In the course of this article I should like to examine briefly the notion of fantasy from both a theoretical and empirical…
