“…I wrote down the transcript of the interviews, which was followed by a comparative analysis, that I conducted manually. Social representations and images from pre-travel information such as websites, marketing brochures and daily newsletters from the cruise liner as well as German guidebooks and travel magazines were analysed (Santos, 2005: 150). The secondary data helped to analyse some imaginaries created before the excursion.…”

With the increase in large-scale cruise tourism worldwide, researchers have highlighted the inauthenticity of the cruise experience and the reconstruction of space. This research deals with new aspects: fast tourism through time-space compression, and the formation of enclosed, customized ‘tourist bubbles’ that confine the tourists and promote a constructed authenticity of the experience on-shore. The second aim is to advance applied research in slower cruise excursions, especially in emerging cruise destinations. The research is based on extensive field work conducted during nine cruise-excursions to the sand desert and an oasis in the Sultanate of Oman. Oman is in the early stages of developing mega-cruise tourism while having received little attention in tourism research. For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with German-speaking cruise tourists, cruise employees as well as with local cultural brokers and the Minister of Tourism. Moreover, participant observation, travel ethnography and photography were applied. Results indicate while moving from one customized ‘tourist bubble’ to the next one, time is controlled and enhanced through fast modes of transportation and a tight schedule of the excursion. The tourists and their cultural brokers are ‘contained’ in time and space, while some are struggling for more authentic experiences. They are shielded off from the local environment, ‘grazing’ destinations within a short time.

The rapid expansion of tourism and hospitality sector demands more subject-oriented expertise. In order to address the situation, many countries of the world started offering different levels of educational programs. In Bangladesh, tourism education and research remain comparatively a new stream of learning opportunity. This paper instigates an exploratory study to report on the general tourism and hospitality education and research in Bangladesh. Using both primary and secondary methods, this research collects data and analyze following the content analysis technique. The findings reveal that the unique nature and interdisciplinary orientations require tourism education to accommodate both theoretical as well as practical learning modules. However, the practical part has been found largely absent in most of the tertiary level institutions. Finally, a number of issues have been identified for future research opportunities that entail the supply and demand side of tourism education and research in Bangladesh. More specifically, the findings highlighted the nature and status associated with tourism and hospitality jobs, scarcity of qualified academicians and institutes, faulty course curriculum, lack of accessibility to quality and updated materials, and failure of government to play its functional roles. This paper will be helpful for policymakers in tourism and hospitality sectors in Bangladesh.
