Cíle předmětu
Increasing amount of (relatively) free time in developed countries, development of transport and modern technologies have led to the popularization of travel and tourism. The homo viator status is no longer a privilege of the few, but it has become a part of life of European people today, or even a lifestyle and the way of identity expression. The course will familiarize with current travel phenomena that has been taking new dimensions nowadays. Types of tourism (cultural tourism, religious tourism, dark tourism, etc.) and travel (backpacker, full-time traveler, etc.) will be characterized. Basic methodological approaches will be presented, as well as possibilities of grasping important for tourism research "cultural contents" in guides, promotional materials, souvenirs, photographs from journeys. The perspective of the "other side" will be discussed: the significance of perceiving place as tourist for local communities, a perspective of the tourism industry's employees, ethical consequences.
