Food Tourism and the Use of Authenticity in Thailand
This article explores the concept of authenticity as it relates to its use by hosts at tourist destinations, the relationship between food and tourism, especially food produced and sold by market traders, and the various uses of authenticity by traders and tourists. It specifically aims to further our understanding of the use of authenticity in Thailand by stakeholders in a synergistic process, thereby filling a gap in research. Mixed research me…
Alternative or mainstream? Foreign settlers on a Canary Island
This paper characterises foreign settlers living in a Canary Island fishing settlement as alternative due to their derivation from non-mainstream tourism and difference to the indigenous community. It argues that alternative foreign settlers have specific and profound impacts on the indigenous community because of their propensity to become involved with local people and activities, and it focuses on the business economy and attitudes towards the…

Scottish theme towns: Have new identities enhanced development
Three small towns in southwest Scotland have recently been branded as distinct theme towns, based on books, artists and food. This is an attempt to make them more attractive to visitors and thereby improve their economy. The objective of this research is to establish whether the new identities possessed by the towns have enhanced their development. It is argued, using data reviewing the past decade, that they have all developed, albeit at differe…
Cultural Commodification and Tourism: A Very Special Relationship
This article concentrates on culture as a commodity: how culture is used to sell a particular destination, and elements of a culture that are sold to visitors and consumed. It draws on anthropological conceptions of culture and compares them to the way destinations have focused on particular aspects of their own cultures and thereby defined the concept. By comparing examples where intensive fieldwork or study has been undertaken, conclusions are …

Bursting the Bubble: The Socio-cultural Context of Ecotourism
Ecotourism is a form of tourism that is highly visible and growing rapidly. It is commonly presented and understood as very different from conventional mass tourism because it is especially responsible, and even beneficial, environmentally and socio-culturally. However, such a view may be inaccurate. The favourable image of ecotourism is a consequence of viewing it in an ecotourist bubble, analogous to the idea of the tourist bubble. Within this …
Disappearing culture? Globalisation and a Canary Island fishing community
This article looks at a Canary Island fishing community, examining its interactions with global processes that are seen as part of a development stretching back to the first Spanish colonisers. The focus is on recent events including tourism, and the article depicts the fishing culture and analyses whether such a thing can be said to be disappearing. It is argued that the indigenous individuals, foreign settlers and tourists involved are all acti…

Parks or people? National parks and the case of Del Este, Dominican Republic
Beginning with a brief overview of the USA national park model, this paper outlines significant changes in attitudes towards resident peoples worldwide. It reviews relevant literature dealing with parks in various countries, and argues that the traditional division between people and parks, part of the intellectual context, should be challenged. It also reports that the involvement of resident peoples in management decisions is increasing. Nevert…

Tourism and the Globalization of a Canary Island
This article argues that contemporary tourism should be seen as part of the globalization process, which is itself embedded in the world-system historical pattern of events. Tourism as a topic within anthropology is reviewed initially and is seen to be currently over-emphasizing symbolic issues at the expense of socioeconomic ones. A case study focuses on the globalization process as experienced by the Canary Islanders, for whom tourism is the la…
