“…On another level, these hotel owner managers are to some extent operating commercial homes (Walton, 2000;Lynch and MacWhannell, 2000;Lynch, 2005) which provide some interesting tensions between the home and commercial activity. Lynch's work (2005) explores some of these tensions whereby the 'paying guest' is both accepted into, but also restricted in access to some private spaces.…”

“…Restscapes: As Walton (2000) has shown in his short history of the hospitality trades, foodscapes, drinkspaces, and restscapes share a common heritage in terms of providing hospitality for travelers, and perhaps no institution better embodies the commercial provision of hospitality -usually off ering the "holy trinity" under one roof -than the hotel. Moreover, hotels are stages for numerous other enactments of hospitality between host and guest and between guest and guest.…”

“…Though the off ering of hospitality originated as a private domestic matt er, the same word has come to be used to refer to the selling of similar amenities as a commercial service (Walton 2000).

Recently, small numbers of independent tourists and small groups have begun to visit the remote and poor region of Viengxay in northern Laos. This article is based on focus-group interviews and on-site observation in thirteen villages in Viengxay, intended to explore the perceptions and expectations of locals regarding their roles as hosts in this emerging tourism context. It discusses the ways in which locals are developing att itudes and practices of hospitality towards tourists. These practices are emerging under the infl uence of factors such as native cultural traditions, individual and communal expectations and att itudes towards tourism, as well as historical factors arising from the area's history of war and political isolation. Although locals intuitively treat tourists according to their society's 'traditional' treatment of guests, this treatment is also modifi ed to refl ect an appreciation that tourists are a specifi c type of guest for which the rules of hospitality may need to be reinterpreted. Locals' perceptions of tourists and behaviour in their relations with tourists are evolving as a result of growing contact between locals and tourists and the concomitantly changing expectations from and understanding of the tourism industry. This article articulates common themes for conceptualising the ways in which hospitality practices in the Viengxay villages are emerging from interaction and confl ict of these various aspects.
