Tourist studies explores the movement of people through spaces. A key theme within the paradigm is to revision the relationships between tourists and hosts. This article mobilizes postcolonial critic Edward Said’s understandings of space, exile and ambiguity to refigure the unclear moments and meanings activated when tourists and hosts meet. By mobilizing Said it is hoped to reveal a more fluid and flexible rendering of the tourist discourse as it is mobilized through places - both physical and imagined. Tourists and hosts both reaffirm and transgress these places to redefine the possibilities in the meeting of different bodies, minds, cultures, practices and politics
