Inhaltsangabe

Explores touristic encounters and relationships from the perspectives both of locals and of tourists. Examines and compares a range of relationships, from tourism harassment to market exchange, hospitality, friendship, festive and sexual relationships. Reopens, in a new light, the key question of ‘hosts and guests’ / ‘tourist and locals’ relationships. Shows the importance and implications that these encounters can have for tourists and members of the visited population, offering new insights on how contemporary relationships across difference and inequality are imagined and understood. A unique study of tourism in Cuba, notably of its informal aspects and dimensions.
