“…In contrast, studies of tourism more widely, arguably conceive it as liminal or liminoid phenomenon, where tourism practices and experiences are conceived as contrasting everyday norms and practices (cf. Bristow and Jenkins, 2020;Chylin ́ska, 2022). These may be called 'cultural rejectionist' positions.…”

“…We argue that extensionist perspectives, exemplified in research on halal tourism, are built on the principle that the social norms and value systems that tourists are immersed in at home are transferred comprehensively to their practices when they travel abroad, and thus continue to shape their destination choices and behaviours abroad (Al-Ansi and Lee et al, 2015;Moshin et al, 2020;Oktadiana et al, 2016). We contrast this with 'rejectionist' conceptions that view international mobility in terms of its liminal qualities and the potential for travellers to cast-off norms and values whilst in foreign destinations (Bristow and Jenkins, 2020;Chylin ́ska, 2022). Our data enable us to identify an alternative perspective, which recognises the cumulative, intersecting impacts of socio-cultural imperatives, where norms and values emerge in some domains of tourist behaviour but in negotiated and discontinuous ways.…”

This study examines key socio-cultural factors that influence Saudi tourists’ decisions to travel abroad. The paper utilises qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews with males and females, whose views remain under-researched. It explores how Saudi Arabia's deeply embedded religious and tribal value systems and structures shape tourists’ destination choices and travel behaviours. The findings show that social norms and cultures of surveillance, alongside social obligations, act as push factors, decreasing the appeal of domestic tourism. Moreover, data suggest that seeking personal space and freedom, and the ability to engage in norm-breaking practices, are pull factors that make international destinations, especially those with fewer co-nationals, appealing. Practically, the study helps to identify marketing strategies that domestic and international destinations can adopt to target and accommodate Saudi tourists more effectively. Theoretically, the findings help to conceptualise a middle ground between what we call ‘extensionist’ and ‘rejectionist’ views of cultural influence and to appreciate the cumulative, intersecting impacts of socio-cultural imperatives.

“…Turner (1974) and Shields (2013) have extended the concept of liminality to include temporal and spatial transformations. Liminality has become a popular subject with tourism scholars in recent years and Andrews and Roberts (2012) comment on the significance of the spatio-temporal association with liminality and its significance to the tourist experience (Bristow & Jenkins, 2020). Toward creating a sustainable institution for peace, the confluence of contact zones and liminality are the methodological justification for cross-cultural tourists visiting LWRIT.…”

Living in theWakeof Rural Irish Troubles: building an institution for sustainable peace through emotive out-of-place tourism

During the thirty-year period known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland, 3500 people died and thousands more suffered physical disabilities and psychological trauma. Belfast, among other conflict cities, helped inspire the term 'dark tourism' in 1989. The country continues to be in conflict but is officially in a period of peace. Northern Ireland has been the theme for much peace and reconciliation research, but literature to date concentrates on polarised discourses rather than rural representation. Toward meeting and expanding the UN SDG16 peace goals, this research explores how what we term emotive peace tourism can be used as a methodology to affect emotional reconciliation registers in a unique rural Northern Ireland visitor experience. Bringing domestic tourists from Catholic and Protestant communities into face-to-face contact through a liminal participative 'out-of-place' visitor experience, we choreographed and performed a series of "Troubles" events: a guided night walk through a checkpoint, an IRA Wake, a UDA Funeral, and a Mixed-Marriage. Contributing to the debate as to whether tourism is more of a 'peacekeeper' than a 'peacemaker', our research demonstrates that an in situ liminal, emotive peace tourism experience, can generate sustainable tolerance, respect, trust, sympathy, and empathy towards others in post-conflict Northern Ireland and likely elsewhere.

“…From the reassuring "touristscapes", derivation of artificial codes of governance and control to more specific and unpredictable "smellscapes" and "soundscapes" [68]. In general, the vocabulary of tourism studies from this research area has been enriched with an innovative and semantically richer language using nouns, such as "interaction", "contextualization", "encounter", "engagements", and "experience", adjectives and adverbs, such as "sensual", "embedded", "entangled", "bodily", "unruly", and "liminal" [74], and verbs, such as "staging" and "performing". Economics and business have also faced a paradigm shift influenced by the different social turns.…”

The Tourism–Landscape Nexus: Assessment and Insights from a Bibliographic Analysis

Over the last two decades, the awareness about landscape as a common good and the definition of tourism as a relevant driver of territorial development have both increased contributions to contemporary reflections on places and mobilities. From a scientific point of view, the need for structured contributions on the “landscape–tourism” nexus has been stressed. In fact, tourism and landscape studies are fed by many disciplines, often returning sectorial articles, sometimes lacking in organicity. Considering recent literary reviews carried out through bibliometric and content analyses, the present paper intends to map different ways of defining and understanding this complex interrelation as it emerges from the main research areas. From geographical contributions to managerial perspectives addressing destination planning and development, and from sociological non-representational to actor network theories applied to tourism, among others, the nexus is faced by approaches and concepts that are both specific and recurrent. Expressions such as “tourist landscape”, “tourism landscape”, “touristscape” with their different meanings orient this literary investigation informing a tentative conceptual framework where interrelated spatial, social, and symbolic dimensions emerge with a key definitional role. The general aim was to possibly enrich the reflection on this relationship, providing new definitional contributions and conceptual frameworks able to coherently influence both theory and practice.
