“…For example, Krippendorf's (1987) seminal research in this field observed that tourists brought with them many of the practices of home life into the holiday setting and that these tended to be important for those tourists for whom familiarity of routine was important (Gottlieb 1982). In contrast, Currie (1997) identified a range of 'behaviour reversals' or inversions between practices at home and whilst on holiday (Shaw and Williams 2004).…”

Pro-environmental behaviour change remains a high priority for many governments and agencies and there are now numerous programmes aimed at encouraging citizens to adopt sustainable forms of living. However, although programmes for addressing behaviour change in and around the home are well developed, there has been significantly less attention paid to activities beyond this site of practice. This is despite the environmental implications of consumption choices for leisure, tourism and work-related activities.Through focusing on sites of practice as a key framing device, this paper uses data from a series of in-depth interviews to identify three major challenges for academics and practitioners concerned with understanding and promoting more environmentallyresponsible behaviour. First, attention must shift beyond the home as a site of environmental practice to consider the ways in which individuals respond to exhortations towards 'greener' lifestyles in other high-consumption and carbon-intensive settings, Second, in broadening the scope of environmental practice, policy makers need to re-visit their reliance on segmentation models and related social marketing approaches. This is in the light of data that suggest those with strong environmental commitments in the home are often reluctant to engage in similar commitments in other sites of practice. Third, researchers and policy makers therefore need to move beyond the traditional 'siting' of environmental practice towards a spatially sophisticated conceptualisation that accounts for the multiple settings of consumption through mapping the relationships that exist between sites of practice.

“…In this sense, authentic tourist experiences yielded an enhanced understanding of oneself. The experience was authentic when the tourist says it was whether or not it matched a social representation of authenticity (Gottlieb, 1982). Rahilly (1993) described the four constituents of personal authenticity as intensity of emotions, significantly heightened awareness of somatic experience, sense of being fully present and aware of self, and heightened awareness of other people.…”

The purpose is to construct a hermeneutic understanding of the significance of the journey to budget travellers. Narrative interviews were gathered from budget travellers. This research confirms the complexity, holistic reflections and personal travel history associated with the journey. The participants' narratives indicated the primacy of personal authenticity instead of cultural authenticity. The sight became a landmark to distinguish the destination, participants' geographical placement and some of their travails on their journeys. The nomothetic significance of the journey involved the meaning themes of personal development and liminal encounters and meaning factors of styles, visual cues and problem solving.

“…Selon Gottlieb (1982), le but des vacances est essentiellement l'inversion du quotidien, la distinction entre l'expérience ordinaire et inhabituelle. Même dans la réflexion d' Urry (1990), l'élément clé de l'expérience touristique est la différence entre le lieu de la vie habituelle et l'objet de l'observation touristique.…”

Le « tout inclus » : contrôle du risque et de la durabilité

Dans l’actuelle société postmoderne, les nombreuses options de consommation, la possibilité pour les individus de construire leurs propres biographies en suivant l’impulsion individualiste sans les contraintes de la société traditionnelle, ont inévitablement une incidence sur la pratique du tourisme. Le tourisme contemporain, dit post-tourisme, est aujourd’hui segmenté, flexible et offert sur mesure en fonction des souhaits individuels. Ainsi, la pratique du tourisme « tout inclus » est une variation postmoderne du tourisme de masse, dont les origines dans les années 1920 étaient liées à la sécurité des transports et de l’hôtellerie dans la pratique du tourisme. Cet article illustre comment, dans la période actuelle, le tout inclus prend une signification différente qui répond au climat d’incertitude qui entoure l’individu postmoderne au niveau individuel et collectif. Pleinement conscient de son statut ludique, en payant le voyagiste, le touriste du tout inclus obtient un séjour contrôlé et planifié qui lui permet de vivre une expérience sans risque mais qui rend difficile, en retour, une véritable connaissance mutuelle entre les peuples. En soulevant les questions liées aux problèmes et paradoxes du tout inclus, cet article questionne la durabilité du concept.
