The Tourist Gaze

  


“Places are chosen to be gazed upon because there is an anticipation, especially through daydreaming and fantasy, of intense pleasures, either on a different scale or involving different senses from those customarily encountered. "

(John Urry, The Tourist Gaze: Leisure and Tavel in Contemporary Societies, 1990, p3.)
