Anthropology of Tourism: From Morocco to Papua New Guinea

Vol.5,No.2(2014)

Abstract
The article deals with a phenomenon of tourism from a perspective of socio-cultural anthropology. It aims to introduce some basic approaches and key figures of the field, who contributed to the wider recognition of anthropology of tourism. The subject of the study is a theoretic and empirical analysis of anthropology of tourism, which is interpreted on the basis of the data obtained in two localities; namely Morocco and Papua New Guinea. The researchers gathered information, which allows them for an interpretation of the coping mechanisms engaged by the local populations.
