Great Expectations by Jonathan Skinner
The negotiation of expectations in tourism is a complex and dynamic process - one that is central to the imagination of cultural difference. Expectations not only affect the lives and experiences of tourists, but also their hosts, and play an important part in the success or failure of the overall tourism experience.-

"[This volume offers] a fascinating series of studies of how expectation and anticipation shape tourist practicesReaders will find here rich and impressive studies that range across the globe pausing to cast new light on many classic scenarios and issues - This volume will be a major resource that offers a nuanced account of the complexities of expectations, disappointments and joys of tourism." * Mike Crang, Durham University " - an exciting volume, one that addresses a little understood aspect of tourism: the complex interaction between imagination and reality, and the way in which anticipation and expectation frames the experience of tourism - These issues are often discussed in passing in other works, but here they are brought into sharp relief." * Adam Kaul, Augustana College
