Popis: Anthropological interest in tourism has been slow to develop, but is now well-established and there are hopeful signs for further development. Most anthropological work has been linked to acculturation involving Western tourists and non-Western hosts, but some interest in tourists' experiences has also been evident. An apparently fertile line of research that takes different forms of tourism as superstructural manifestations has only begun. A number of studies guided by practical questions show that applied anthropological interests and theoretical concerns can proceed together. The contribution of a cross-cultural, holistically oriented anthropology to the broader endeavor of social scientists to understand tourism is also considered.
