Description: This book examines the nexus between exploring and tourism and argues that exploration travel based heavily on explorer narratives and the promises of personal challenges and change is a major trend in future tourism. In particular it analyses how romanticised myths of explorers form a foundation for how modern day tourists view travel and themselves. Its scope ranges from the Golden Age of imperial explorers in the 19th and early 20th centuries through the growth of adventure and extreme tourism to possible future trends including space travel. The volume should appeal to researchers and students across a variety of disciplines including tourism studies sociology geography and history.
