ABSTRACT

Introduction Tourist experiences are often assumed to take place within particular times and spaces detached from people’s everyday lives. However, as demonstrated in the previous chapters, most tourist performances intersect with the everyday. In Chapters 6 and 7, we uncovered the habitual and mundane character of tourist performances, showing how embodied ‘home-brought’ roles, norms, habits, imaginations, dreams and fears are drawn upon and enacted at ‘tourist places’.
