“…'Traditional' cultures associate the host-guest relationship with diff erent degrees and types of obligations, while modern societies are less likely to see hospitality as a matt er of social duty and more as an economic and commercially institutionalised activity. The concept of a 'hospitality industry' and use of the words 'guest' and 'host' | 23 in such commercial contexts is seen by some as paradoxical or ironic (Heal 1990;Burn 1999) and later Smith and Brent (2001) have edited volumes investigating the nature of the hostguest relationship in tourism within diff erent cultural contexts, and the impacts of these relations on various host societies. Telfer (2000) identifi es three types of hospitality: that offered to one's friends, that off ered to members of one's wider social circle, and 'good Samaritan' hospitality off ered to strangers in need.…”

“…Selwyn (2000) remarks on the obligatory nature of hospitality in the traditions of many cultures, proposing that hospitality plays an important part in the growth and evolution of societies. The idea of the off ering of hospitality as a duty is a component of the societal code of many 'traditional' societies, involving issues of honour and duty (Cornwallis 1694;Heal 1990), but tends to become much less prevalent as a society undergoes processes of modernisation. The appearance of increasing numbers of tourists in an area and the emergence of commercial practices of hospitality have been noted to aff ect a host society's ideas of the relationship between hospitality and duty (Lashley 2007).…”

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.

“…Yet, it is a misconception that hospitality should come easiest to the guest, as it is an exchange which always places the host in a position of control over the encounter (See Berno 1999, Heal 1990, Wood 1994, Tucker 2003a, 2003b for discussion of the social exchange of hospitality). As 'guests', tourists have certain obligations placed upon them since the guest is obliged 'to accept the customary parameters of his hosts' establishment, functioning as a passive recipient of goods and services defined by the latter as part of his hospitality' (Heal 1990:192).…”

“…His next step was to break with the affective order, as did many of his fellow aristocrats. 72 73 This was to be rigidly enforced: not only were strangers to be kept away, but Bridgewater would also personally fire any servant who disobeyed these rules, so that he would not "give any more ill example to his fellow servants" or allow any "sort of provision [to] be wasted. " Here, then, is the iron logic of profit and loss that the rationalist Josiah Child had argued for; entirely displaced are the notions of reciprocal obligation.…”

huntington library quarterly | vol. 77, no. 2 201 the emergent consumer economy of late seventeenth-century England troubled Restoration society. It may now be problematic to refer to a "commercial revolution" during those years, but various writers, from John Milton to anonymous pamphleteers, did note and fear an extraordinary expansion of acquisition and consumption. 1 These writers acknowledged the utility and necessity of trade but worried that the priorities of the market had come to trump all concerns of society and the state. The opposing view in what soon became a vehement debate over the virtues of the market and the value of unregulated trade was held by other writers and an array of pamphlet-writing economists. 2 They argued that unregulated trade would not only abstract This essay examines the changing views of John Egerton, second Earl of Bridgewater, of the emerging consumer economy of late seventeenth-century England. Robin Hermann analyzes the earl's accounts, correspondence, and other manuscripts to explore a revealing case of the post-Restoration encounter between the customary values of the aristocracy and the commercial interests of the merchant. Of particular interest is a "debt document, " a memorandum in which Bridgewater explains to himself and to his progeny the reasons for his crippling indebtedness. keywords: John Egerton, second Earl of Bridgewater; Charles II; Stop of the Exchequer; Sir Josiah Child; currency in early modern England
