Document Summary
1 contributions anthropology has made to the study of tourism: be able to elaborate 3 contributions, think also about how anthropological approaches to the study of tourism are problematic, 3 contributions: 1 using an ethnographic approach, that is, examining tourism in specific places and situations. 2 exploring the effects of tourism on indigenous and marginalized people. Western invention; that tourism is a leisure activity; that tourism was first established by the elite; and the term tourism itself. I believe that questioning the first assumption is the most important. Chambers challenges the view of tourism as a western invention by providing examples of travel and tourism in non-western societies, with special focus on japanese tourism: relates to modern tourism and the tourism industry. It became dependent on creating demand where it had to previously existed, as well as re-creating tourist locales to match these new demands : concerns people and tourism.
