ABSTRACT
Boorstin illustrated that the debate over this issue is full of subjective judgements when he wrote about the ‘lost art of travel’ in the following terms: ‘The traveller, then, was working at something; the tourist was a pleasure seeker. The traveller was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him . . . he expects everything to be done to him and for him’ (Boorstin, 1992).
