Description: This collection brings together some of the most influential writers in the field to examine the complex connections between tourism and cultural change and the relevance of tourist experience to debates on space, time and identity.

Review Quotes: "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."
-Steven C. Dinero, Journal of Cultural Geography
