A produção de espaços turísticos e a mercantilização dos lugares

Abstract

The predominant paradigm in touristic studies leads us to create the concept of tourism as a organized trip from commercial operation. The commodification of trip, as its turn, generates effects in the manner how one experiences the space and in the manner how it is conceived and ordered for touristic purposes. On these terms, rural or urban space is taken as specialized – which induces to a standardization of multiple spaces conducted by a touristic urbanization which generates conflicts on the places. Therefore, a theoretical and critical thinking that refuses the belief in a supposed determinism becomes interesting – independent of subjects attendance – among trip and consumption of tourist attractions and tourist equipments. The present text conduct to a reflection about the current conflicts and considers other ways for the space experimentation thought the crossing-trip.
