Abstract
In the past, studies of tourism and the environment have tended to concentrate on the ‘natural’ environment; these studies did not pay attention to the role of culture in creating environments for tourism, and mediating the way in which tourists consume environments. Recent critical studies of the tourism phenomenon have begun to redress this balance, by pointing to the way in which the production and reproduction of ‘nature’ is highly culturally determined (Urry, 1996).
