تصور بهشت: بسیج تخیلات در گردشگری و فراتر از آن (جهت‌گیری‌های نوین در انسان‌شناسی، جلد ۳۱)

As tourists we demand the same standards of service wherever we go, yet we always want the destination to be distinctive. Based on fieldwork in Tanzania & Indonesia, this book explores how tourism fantasies are rewarded in an increasingly homogenised world. "As tourism service standards become more homogeneous, travel destinations worldwide are conforming yet still trying to maintain, or even increase, their distinctiveness. Based on more than two years of fieldwork in Yogyakarta, Indonesia and Arusha, Tanzania, this book offers an in-depth investigation of the local-to-global dynamics of contemporary tourism. Each destination offers examples that illustrate how tour guide narratives and practices are informed by widely circulating imaginaries of the past as well as personal imaginings of the future."--Back cover
