Produktbeschreibung

First Published in 1994. Studies in Anthropology and History is a series that will develop new theoretical perspectives, and combine comparative and ethnographic studies with historical research. The notion that tourism is the largest industry in the world seems to have acquired a wide currency over the past few years. This book looks at the recent growth of anthropological interest in tourism with suggestions as to some key issues where anthropological interests and tourism coincide; using field work and investigations in Sri Lanka.
