Scenic Spots - Chinese Tourism, The State, And Cultural Authority

摘要

themes from 'classic' tourism texts, such as MacCannell's 'The Tourist' (1976) and Urry's 'The Tourist Gaze' (1990), with influential contemporary texts such as Edensor's 'Tourists at the Taj' (1998) and Loefgren's 'On Holiday (2002). Simultaneously, it skilfully interweaves these themes with historic and anthropologic research about China. The book is therefore accessible from many dimensions, both for anthropologists and sociologists with an interest in tourism, but equally to postgraduate researchers, academics and industry professionals from a wider tourism field.
