“…The hybridity showcased by these texts was unparalleled to any genre of literature. 'Theory' helped to get away with many romantic and modernist metaphors like "exploration", "exile" and "transcendental homelessness" with discourses of migration, diaspora, and asylum (Bhabha 1994;Kaplan 1996;Nyman 2017). Such hybridities associated with travels, travellers, and texts, which are entwined together in a complex metaphor of the journey, are neo-textual sites.…”

Myths and legends travel just like humans to distant lands under different circumstances. One among the two most popular etiological myths of Tibet tells that the earliest settlers on the Tibetan plateau were refugees who escaped the conflicts described in the Indian epic Mahabharata. This serves as the first legend establishing the Indian connection with Tibet. Such journeys of humans, ideas and texts always stimulated imagination in human beings. The narratives of journeys woven with the author's imaginations and experiences, gave us travelogues. An ancient genre of literature, travelogues serve as the base for various fictional and non-fictional works. Travelogues inquired the unknown, making us aware of the existence of diversified cultural extremities present in this planet and thereby playing a crucial role in cultural exchanges. However, very interestingly texts also embark on journeys along with humans; and create neotextual sites for future discourse. In this paper the focus is on the exchanges between India and Tibet. Beginning from the first Indian Scholar Santarakshita, followed by Padmasambhava, Atisha et al to 20 th century Rahul Sanskritiyan, there has been continuous movement of scholars to and fro Tibet. Apart from documenting their journeys, they initiated huge influx of literary texts between these two ancient countries. As a result of which Tibet became the store-house of ancient Nalanda Tradition while it faced destruction in India. So, the paper firstly seeks out to discuss the influences of Indian scholars and texts in Tibetan culture from ancient times. Secondly, it tries to chart out the representation of Tibet in the writings of these scholars and trace the birth of Buddhist literature in Tibet. Thirdly, since travelogues also supported cartographic purposes, they portrayed both the cultural and geo-political zones, it looks into the interpretation and misinterpretation of culture channelized through these documents. Lastly, it attempts to problematize the various versions of documents written regarding such people and their journeys to understand the nature of perceptions and experiences.

“…Al aplicar el marketing sensorial al turismo gastronómico, no todos los sentidos tienen el mismo alcance en cuanto a la satisfacción que producen en los visitantes y en su capacidad de atracción para un potencial regreso, ya que la influencia del gusto, el olfato y la vista prevalece sobre la que ejercen oído y tacto (Kamaludin et al, 2020;Brochado, Stoleriu y Lupu, 2021;Hoang y Tučková, 2021). En materia gastronómica el gusto es el sentido que, en muchos casos, resulta determinante para conformar experiencias más fáciles de recordar, influyendo en el estado de ánimo y la percepción del cliente (Nyman, 2017;Kamaludin et al, 2020). El marketing olfativo permite construir experiencias sensoriales a partir de olores específicos u odotipos, que contribuyen a mejorar el estado de ánimo de los consumidores, influyendo positivamente en el tiempo de permanencia en los locales y en su comportamiento de compra (Randhir et al, 2016; Jiménez-Marín, Bellido-Pérez y López-Cortés, 2019; Gómez-Gallo y Hernández-Zelaya, 2020; González-Peña y González-Anleo, 2020).…”

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es conocer los efectos del marketing sensorial sobre las decisiones de los clientes de restaurantes al hacer turismo gastronómico. La metodología utilizada es de tipo cuantitativo, a partir de los resultados de una encuesta, a los que se ha aplicado análisis estadístico descriptivo y bivariado. Los principales resultados indican que el 32,30% de los participantes señala al turismo gastronómico como uno de sus motivos preferentes para viajar a un destino y que el 35,2% estaría dispuesto a pagar más por una experiencia multisensorial en un restaurante. Se concluye que las empresas e instituciones involucradas en un sector tan competitivo deben apostar firmemente por la utilización de las técnicas propias del marketing sensorial, pues los turistas gastronómicos muestran preferencias sensoriales muy concretas sobre determinados aspectos relacionados con la vista (luz), olfato (olores más o menos fuertes), gusto (platos), oído (música ambiental) o tacto (materiales).

“…Travel writing is perpetually aimed at the experience of difference, but since Orientalism travel scholars have underscored how such differences are structured by economic inequalities. 1 Reading back into history from a postcolonial context, studies of early modern travels have explored the emerging logics of race and colonialism (Todorov 1985;Greenblatt 1992); the "Black Atlantic" remapped the New World trade routes as a space of countercultural mixing and resistance (Gilroy 1993); and the governing romantic and modernist metaphors of "exploration", "exile" and "transcendental homelessness" would give way to discourses of migration, diaspora, and asylum (Bhabha 1994;Kaplan 1996;Nyman 2017).…”

Studies in Travel Writing

The study of travel writing owes a great deal to "theory"the critical methodologies that emerged from the Frankfurt School, French structuralism, and the social movements of the 1960s and '70s. Theory, in turn, owes a good deal to travel writing, whose diverse, hybrid, and wide-ranging texts have been invaluable to the study of our increasingly mobile and interconnected world. The present collection of essays explores that complex intertwining of the traveller's experience and its interpretation. Our special issue on Travel Writing and Theory coincides with the fortieth anniversary of Edward Said's Orientalism (Said 1978), and contributors have taken this returning date as an occasion to reflect on the role of theory in travel studies and of travel studies in theory. Said's book has played an important part in this mutual influence, as it marks a pivotal moment between an earlier rhetoric-and linguistics-inspired literary criticism and more diverse approaches to cultural analysis, including what, after Orientalism, would become known as postcolonial studies. Combining close textual interpretation with politicallyinflected discourse analysis, Said's book set the agenda for a generation of critics in various fields in the humanities and social sciences. One of the inspiring innovations of Said's book was precisely its critical attention to travel writing, and as a result the book catalysed broader inquiries into the discursive representation of power, difference and desire in a globalising world. These questions required synthetic and interdisciplinary models of thought that remain fundamental to scholarly studies of travel writing. Indeed, it has been argued that much of the work done in travel studies over the past forty years would not have been possible without Said's work (Ashcroft and Ahluwalia 1999, 26). To judge the impact of Orientalism on intellectual culture, one need only open Paul de Man's Allegories of Reading, a monument of "high theory", and published in the same year that Orientalism went into its first of many mass-market printings. On the first page of the opening essay, de Man, still beholden to a certain Eurocentric formalism, could speak dismissively of the world outside the text as "the foreign affairs, the external politics of literature" (De Man 1979, 3). De Man's larger point was perhaps not quite so stark, as the aim of the essay was to query the binary distinctions conveyed by such inside/outside metaphors. However, it would require an epistemological shift away from the Eurocentric canon to deconstruct the cultural, economic, and racial logics that allowed a theorist of the 1970s to suggest that domestic political interests could be considered separate fromand de Man's Belgian background surely imposes the observationits supposedly foreign entanglements, including the colonial "other scene".
