Tourism and cultural routes


Hello!!

I am studying about cultural guides and I found a lot of different terms and things that I can use in my project. One of the papers that described them is:

Journeys of the Imagination? The Cultural route revealed by Tove Oliver
He described terms as “a destination bubble””conveying a sense of isolation rather than involvement” (p.319) and studied about tourists images of the cities and the role that the organized tours play in informal learning. He found that tourists’ “images changed in magnitude as the tour had enforced already well defined images” (p. 319). He also conclude that the “potential for tour members to interact with host communities lies not only with the tourists themselves, but also with destination image intermediaries and tourism police makers”(p. 319).
