CORE 010A SC - Tourism: Past and Present

Tourism – which comprises over 10% of global GDP – is one of the oldest forms of recreation and globalization. This course begins by examining current global tourism, reflecting on tourists, their motives, and their impacts. We will then investigate pilgrimage, the first widespread form of tourism. Finally, we will explore some ways tourism has evolved, from the Grand Tour to voluntourism to post-pandemic travel, looking at postcards, collectibles, and other objects from Denison Library.
