Abstract

Tourism is both a business and a social phenomenon. To understand how tourism works, then, one must understand both the business side of tourism as well as the human side. Ever since large scale tourism began, people have been examining it and trying to place it in a sociological perspective. These efforts have involved an examination of why people travel, the social reasons for travel and the type of tourist experience they are either getting or seeking. This chapter examines how the founding sociologists and anthropologists in the field looked at tourism and how they still shape our thinking.
