Current Issue
Vol. 25 No. 2 (2026): Tourisms’ Tristes Tropiques: Cultural Landscapes
Special Issue Editors: Carla Guerrón Montero & Anita Lundberg
In this second special issue on “Tourisms’ Tristes Tropiques” we explore “Cultural Landscapes” socio-culturally and ecologically to show how they are intertwined with historical, colonial, and neocolonial aspects of tourism. The anthropology of tourism and critical tourism studies recognize tourism as both an industry and a cultural phenomenon, and this dual approach provides a lens for exploring how cultural landscapes are created, transformed, activated, and morphed by tourism.
