Does it automatically educate and enlighten while also promoting tolerance, peace, and understanding? In this challenging book, Dean MacCannell identifies and overcomes common obstacles to ethical sightseeing. Through his unique combination of personal observation and in-depth scholarship, MacCannell ventures into specific tourist destinations and attractions: "picturesque" rural and natural landscapes, "hip" urban scenes, historic locations of tragic events, Disney theme parks, beaches, and travel poster ideals. He shows how strategies intended to attract tourists carry unintended consequences when they migrate to other domains of life and reappear as "staged authenticity." Demonstrating each act of sightseeing as an ethical test, the book shows how tourists can realize the productive potential of their travel desires, penetrate the collective unconscious, and gain character, insight, and connection to the world. 606 $aTourism$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aSightseeing business$xMoral and ethical aspects 610 $aamusement parks. 610 $aauthenticity. 610 $abeaches. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $acultural understanding. 610 $adisney. 610 $aethical sightseeing. 610 $aethics. 610 $ahistoric tourism. 610 $ahistoric tours. 610 $ahistoric tragedies. 610 $alandscapes. 610 $amoral tourism. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $arace. 610 $arural. 610 $ascenic views. 610 $asightseeing. 610 $asocial theory. 610 $astaged authenticity. 610 $atheme parks. 610 $atolerance. 610 $atourism. 610 $atourist agency. 610 $atourist attractions. 610 $atourist destinations. 610 $atourist imagery. 610 $atourists. 610 $atravel posters. 610 $atravel. 610 $aurban neighborhoods. 610 $avoyage. 610 $aworldview. 615 0$aTourism$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aSightseeing business$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a338.4/791 700 $aMacCannell$b Dean$0250953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816013803321 996 $aThe ethics of sightseeing$93982874 997 $aUNINA
