The Explorer Traveller: The Myth Continues -- Sources A: Participants Interviewed -- Sources B: Primary References -- Secondary References -- Index This book examines the nexus between exploring and tourism and argues that exploration travel – based heavily on explorer narratives and the promises of personal challenges and change – is a major trend in future tourism. In particular, it analyses how romanticised myths of explorers form a foundation for how modern day tourists view travel and themselves. Its scope ranges from the 'Golden Age' of imperial explorers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, through the growth of adventure and extreme tourism, to possible future trends including space travel. The volume should appeal to researchers and students across a variety of disciplines, including tourism studies, sociology, geography and history.Tourism and cultural change ;40.Adventure travelTourismElectronic books.Adventure travel.Tourism.910.4Laing Jennifer1967-1033138Frost WarwickMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464965503321Explorer travellers and adventure tourism2451516UNINA
