Peter M.Burns is Head of Tourism and Leisure at the
University of Luton.
Tourism is more than a collection of business transactions, a
process, or set of impacts. It is a complex assortment of systems
that includes economic, built and natural environments,
ownership patterns, relationships between generating and
receiving countries, and the relationship between the locale in
which tourism takes place and the wider society.
An Introduction to Tourism and Anthropology explains how
anthropology is the window through which tourism dynamics
may be properly analysed and evaluated. Starting with an
overview of the development of anthropology as a social
science, the author moves on to examine:
• the definition and characteristics of tourism
• definitions and typologies of tourists
• tourism and culture
• key themes and writers in the anthropology of tourism
• issues in the anthropology of tourism
• globalisation, tourism and anthropology
• the relationship between development and
underdevelopment theories and the anthropology of tourism
Featuring a wealth of international examples, figures, key
ideas, guides for further reading and end of chapter questions,
this comprehensive book examines the important issues
surrounding tourism’s human impact and reveals that the
dynamic relationship between tourism and culture is not
necessarily a ‘bad thing’.
