Document Summary
Native tours: the anthropology of travel and tourism. Travel and tourism are two different things: tourism is associated more with recreational and leisure activities. 4 previously held notions regarding the development of tourism are now open for debate and further research: 1) modern tourism has its origin in the west and is shaped uniquely by. Just as an example that proves otherwise, the tendency to travel in close knit groups, collect souvenirs, and use travel agencies all stem from past japanese societies; all of which emerged long before it did in. In many cultures, hospitality is an act/obligation that cannot be paid for, as that would be highly insulting. Any distinctions made between modern age tourism and its precedents are bound to be arbitrary as we strive for a singular global view of tourism. Attributing different aspects of tourism solely to later-occurring western/european phenomenon distorts our view of historical travel and tourism.
