Document Summary
Tourism is the active utilization of gateways of discovery to expand one"s engagement within the world. Tourism is a gateway - to discover: to discover ourselves, other places. Sometimes we learn consciously and we choose a space or place to explore, experience and linger within. Sometimes we learn by accident, from unanticipated, the unexpected and the unknown: when we travel, we learn more about ourselves. Gateways to discovery: your experience - past - on line text - class - future. Personalized tourist places: places that have meaning and resonate with you, the places that are special to you. Your experiences: all tourism is experienced differently by each individual. 3 learning objectives: an understanding space and place within the context of tourism, a personal sense of the meaning of tourism, an understanding of self as a tourist. Final exam - essay question is a variation of these objectives.
