It is based on several months of participant observation of British charter tourists on holiday in Palmanova and Magaluf on the Mediterranean Island of Mallorca. With a focus on space, the body, and food and drink practices, the book explores the experiential nature of touristic practice which provides insight into constructions, understandings and knowledge of the self in relation to national, regional, class, and gender identities. These issues in turn highlight elements of power and control which are mainly articulated through the attempts to manipulate tourists' consumption practices by the mediators of tourists' experiences.Tourism and cultural change.TourismGreat BritainTravelersGreat BritainBritishTravelSpainMajorcaVisitors, ForeignSpainMajorcaResortsSocial aspectsSpainMajorcaMajorca (Spain)Description and travelBritish tourists.Magaluf.class.gender identities.mass tourism.tourist practices.tourist stereotypes.TourismTravelersBritishTravelVisitors, ForeignResortsSocial aspects910.941QQ 925rvkAndrews Hazel477429MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781342403321The British on holiday3731733UNINA
