Tourism is often seen as a way to experience new cultures and see the world. But what happens when tourism becomes a way to experience our own bodies? In her book, Revealing Bodies, Tourism and Cultural Change, Dr. Jennifer Craik explores how tourism shapes and is shaped by the ways in which we understand and experience our bodies.

The Anthropology of Tourism

Anthropology is the study of human cultures and societies. Anthropologists have long been interested in tourism, as it provides a unique window into how people from different cultures interact with each other. Tourism can also be a powerful force for cultural change, as it can introduce new ideas and values into a community.

The Body in Tourism

The body is not a passive object in tourism. Tourists actively use their bodies to experience the world around them. They may hike through a rainforest, swim in a turquoise sea, or visit a sacred temple. These experiences can have a profound impact on the way they view their own bodies and the bodies of others.

Tourism and Cultural Change

Tourism can also lead to cultural change. For example, the influx of tourists into a community may lead to the development of new tourist attractions and services. This can have a positive impact on the local economy, but it can also lead to social and environmental problems.

In her book, Revealing Bodies, Tourism and Cultural Change, Dr. Craik provides a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between tourism and the body. She argues that tourism is not simply a way to see the world, but also a way to experience our own bodies. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the anthropology of tourism, the sociology of the body, or the cultural impact of tourism.
