‘Made up’ and evolving – or already set in stone? Producing geotourism in the Niagara Region
What are the origins of niche tourism? The making of a form of niche tourism is explained by more than the economic forces of supply and demand and socio-demographic factors. An integrated web of classificatory practices, people, institutions, knowledge, experts, and place-based factors is involved. This web, derived from the ideas of philosopher Ian Hacking, constitutes a field of niche tourism production. Geotourism and geotourists appear as su…
‘Fast hospitality’ and technology
This article explores the use of technology to provide hospitality at high speed. The requirements of economic competition and achieving profitability underpin the need for speed. Speed, in this article, is viewed as a function of Zygmunt Bauman’s notion of liquid modernity but also points to evidence of solid structures. Solidly positioned corporations set the pace of the speed agenda. Trade journal articles offer insight into the corporate-mana…
Capitalism on a bun
Simple restaurant menu choices speak to more complex practices and processes. This study uses fast-food chicken sandwiches to understand the way in which capitalism reconciles apparent contradictions profitably. Capitalism has been conceptualized as a system riddled with contradictions, but it is also characterized by synthesis. There can be harmony – and capital accumulation – in juxtaposition. A qualitative analysis of trade journal articles is…
Tourism, big data, and a crisis of analysis
What is Home? The Perspectives of Traveling Professional Workers in Vietnam
Defining home has become a complex matter in a mobile world. With many people now able to move fairly freely and having a number of options with respect to where they can reside, the conventional concept of home that links it to one particular place is no longer as useful. Drawing from a qualitative study of 34 traveling professional workers (TPWs) in Da Nang and Hoi An in Vietnam, the article explores how home is perceived among this group of in…
Selling bubbles at sea
The insularity of super-sized cruise ships is simultaneously part of their appeal and a problem. Seagoing tourism enclaves offer a world of fantasy, consumption, familiarity, and diversion. However, problems encountered by passengers with respect to seasickness, boredom, and a sense of entrapment are noted within a range of publications. Selling the desirable aspects of cruise-ship enclosure co-exists with attempts to address the unease, discomfo…
Rib Fracture Frequency and Location Using Vehicular Crash Data
Trauma analysis is critical in many death investigations and is the primary reason forensic anthropologists testify. This study aims to improve our understanding of the frequency and location of rib fractures, so the anthropologist can be more informed when making interpretations of blunt force trauma to the rib cage. Data were collected from computed tomography images of 180 individuals who were over 18 years of age and were in a motor vehicle a…

Tourism and the military
Tourism and aesthetic design
In an era of intense global competition, companies are searching for ways to achieve competitive advantage. The development of visually attractive products and physical settings can aid in the creation of brand differentiation and influence the purchasing behaviour of consumers. Image and style are important within consumer culture, as can be observed in everything from automobiles and home furnishings to clothes and Internet sites. Design appear…
Nautical Tourism
The Geography of Tourism and Recreation
Family Holidays
Holidays with children have largely been marginalised in research that examines leisure travel. This paper is a critical review of the available literature and presents a summary of themes relevant for the study of family holidays. Most tourism work is market-driven and from an adult perspective, with children treated as passive members of the family. Neglected areas include the social and cultural dimensions of the family holiday experience, suc…
Interactive service work and performative metaphors
This article analyses the use of performative metaphors in studies that examine interactive service work in the tourism industry. That these metaphors provide a valuable means to conceptualize this type of work is not disputed. Performative metaphors aptly capture the nature of service work, with its unpredictability and audience scrutiny. However, performative metaphors can be extended so that they address not only the embodied actions of servic…
The Mcdonaldization thesis and cruise tourism
Spaces of Containment and Revenue Capture
This paper explores the notion that cruise ships can be conceptualized as spaces of containment. The cruise ships that perhaps best exemplify containment are 'super-sized' cruise ships. In this paper, super-sized cruise ships are defined as vessels that can accommodate more than 2,000 tourists. These ships are built for the purpose of revenue capture. In fact, they could be viewed as travel destinations since they have become places where many to…
