The Television Viewer Tourist

The Cultural Geography of the Places of Mediatourism

Although the appearance of mass tourism and the spread of television happened at the same time, in the middle of the 20th century, there are only relatively few texts that deal with the tight relationship of these two phenomena. The geographical view of communication and media, however, can change this. From this point of view tourism and media are connected through their fundamental spatiality. The study represents the connection between media and tourism through certain specific places of mediatourism. As a result, it deals with the concept and critiques of post-tourism, media-generated tourism and media-pilgrimage.
