Document Summary
Relates to space and place and your experience: midterm: your awareness, how attuned you are to the course. Three learning objectives (1) an understanding of space and place within the context of tourism (2) a personal sense of the meaning of tourism (3) an understanding of self as a tourist (are you a good tourist?) It has nothing to do with distance or the exotic. Even if someone had come with me and written a book about the trip it would have been a different book: every trip has a historical dimension. Despair is the armchair; it is staying at home, it is indifference and glazed incurious eyes. Despair is the video game of travel without actually going anywhere. I think travellers are essentially optimists, or else they would never go anywhere. By being kept in one place, there is no risk of their interrupting the flow of local life.
