Urbanism, Landscape, and Tourism Studies Diverse Aspects of Tourism Research Travel Writing and Literature

Abstract

This paper argues for a fresh perspective on the significance of tourism. Its educational origins are recalled, and tourism is seen to parallel the mass media and formal education as a means of world discovery. Using an approach largely from historical geography, a historical model of urban growth is proposed. This is based on the concept of the ‘datascape’, with environments considered as assemblies of data to be accessed and interpreted by the individual. By bringing travellers into contact with new information environments, tourism acts as a highly significant educator.
