Synopsis

It is becoming ever clearer that while people tour cultures, cultures and objects themselves are in a constant state of migration.

Media Reviews
The book is presented in a clear and engaging manner and I would recommend it as a useful undergraduate text as well as for the general reader.
- The Sociological Review
Every now and again, a book comes along which fills in the crevices of one's knowledge and appreciation for a topic. Such was the case in my reading of this edited volume, which I found not only pleasurable, but also a genuine contribution to my understanding and views of culture as a product of tourist consumption.
