During this essay written by Walker Percy, it is clear that his overall opinion of experiencing new things is in the eye of the beholder and/or the hands of those around them and their social status. Percy uses many examples in his writing including that of an explorer, tourist, and local all seeing things for the first time either literally or in a new different light. In this essay, I will play on both sides of regaining experiences, seeing things on a different level then before or the first time. Regaining experiences is a valid argument brought up by Percy as it is achievable. While criticizing each side of the argument, I will also answer questions as to the validity of Percy's argument,

People’s impression of traveling may be affected by their presumptions of their destination. For example, many people swarm to ‘tourist traps’ on their trips. While many of these attractions are interesting and beautiful, they aren’t very appealing to visit with thousands of other tourists. For instance, visiting Niagara Falls is a major tourist attraction. People may see impressive pictures of the falls and decide they want to go there. Once they arrive, they realize that there are people everywhere. As a result, it can be hard to get a good view of the falls. Some may realize Niagara Falls is not all that it’s hyped up to be. Others are thrilled that they got to visit the impressive phenomenon. It all depends on the expectations one has about it. If they were expecting to get jaw-dropping views and few people, they may be disappointed. But, they may

The Disney experience is the imagined world that guests endure immediately upon entering the park. Disney is considered to be the “most important entertainment center in the world” because it “segregates the fantastic” by only portraying cultures in a positive way. Since Disney only expresses the highlights of the world, Disney taps into a nostalgic need for a false history to remind guests of how the past should have

There are multiple reasons on why people visit these tourist destinations, but the author feel that the main reason that people go to dark tourism is because of the emotional feeling. Stones states “a dark experience requires empathy/emotion” (579 Stone). The main idea is that it create emotions of the people who are experiencing dark tourism. Dark tourism bring an entire new perspectives that which most people have forgotten about death. People don’t have a strong relationship towards death because it almost hidden away in modern society. People are focusing on other things around them. For example the authors says “ Consequently modern ideology espouses a celebration of life and living, amplified by a post-modern focus on youth… thoughts of death…are repressed” (Stone 582). The ways in modern society cover death is by “absent death privatization of meaning, the medicalization of dying and the professionalization of the death”. (Stone 585). When people think of death towards medical they don’t really think about because they think it’s for science department. While for the funeral department people don’t really think about death because in the modern world people are becoming less religious. Yet the world is still interested towards death. Stones points out that “pervasive feature in the popular cultural landscape … it may be considered fascinating, educational or even humorous” (Stone 585). It shows that dark tourism combines all of these factors that would want for the general public to be involve which causes dark tourism to

The progression of technology and its presence in society has strongly molded the way people live their lives today, and the way they will continue to live their lives years from now. But with this advancement of science and increased order, there is a consequence that seems to be a heavy price to pay: the loss of human emotion and freewill, and the submission to organization and commands. The tourist industry is one such manufactured machine, so to speak, that influences people's views in certain aspects. One of these aspects, culture, is a main focus of post-modernist writer Bryan Turner, who believes that "tourism invents and demands empathy...makes cultures

Expectation is the feeling about something might happen in the future. Experience is what has already happened to people. Experience and expectation can have a real impact on people’s mood and situation. When people’s experience is unlike their expectation, they can be down and despairing. In the essay “On Habit”, Alain de Botton states that the happiness people get from journey is more rely on the mindset people have than on the places they travel to. De Botton feels extremely annoying to be home after coming back from Barbados. Everything around him is meaningless and boring due to the decades he lived in that neighborhood. After reading Xavier de Maistre’s Journey around My Bedroom, De Botton pretends that he is

Experience is something used to gain information about the world and aids in understanding of how it functions. It is what separates instincts from science. I feel experience is a powerful perception that allows individuals to truly learn more about the world simply by going through everyday life. It is comparable to playing a new game online that lacks instructions. At first, it might seem difficult adjusting to the certain strategy involved and the controls. Then, as time goes on, skill set expands, and improvement is made at the game. This experience in the game alone allows you to learn how to play. This is the same with real life. No one is born with the experience and no one has instructions on what to do with their lives.

4. “If we watch what people buy we can infer what their needs and desires are and even anticipate with those needs will be in the future.” “We can see the points of engagement in the shopping process and the points of friction the obstacles to purchase.” “We can modify the experience and improve the shopping

Often, before experiencing something, influences and research can create an aura of understanding. This results in expectations and assumptions. However, with these preconceived ideas, unfamiliar landscapes can create burdens of constant scrutinisation and ultimately dissatisfaction of the experience. Alain

In 1999 B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore published “The Experience Economy”, introducing the new term and its ideas. Until recently, this term was mostly used in the administration context, but now it has become a more important issue in business growth and development. This economy is described as something that is intangible - something more like a memory that the client appreciates indefinitely. It is an experience that incorporates the greater part of the five senses, and it cannot be experienced anywhere else (Pine & Gilmore 1999).

In this essay I will be going over the basic theories of tourism and travel. Hot topics of this essay range from tourist behaviors to my love for trains. As you read through the text, you will find me reflecting myself on the theories every now and then. Take everything I say with a grain of salt though, I have been studying this field for merely 2 months.
