“…Indian women talking to them were accepted with much less suspicion than the men approaching them. As some of the travellers stressed, it is the men who sometimes create trouble and, therefore, all the negative associations tend to be connected with them and not with the women (more in Hottola 2002). Additionally, there is an excess of male approaches while female approaches are scarce.…”

The need to predict and regulate outside interferences is a powerful everyday motivation which is further enhanced in Other culture situations. This paper explores the spatial and behavioural aspects of control as a result of cumulative learning in intercultural adaptation in tourism. An important geographical dimension of control management is the tactic of escape to the metaworlds: the ways tourists travel between the secluded metaspaces of tourism and the Other public space in order to regulate their exposure to cultural difference. In the case discussed -today's institutionalized backpacking in India -the perception of control is achieved by an interesting variety of spatiotemporal and behavioural decisions which together create the metaspatial dimension of tourism. The search for predictability and cultural dominance and the consequent segregation, rather than limitless individual exploration, construct the culture of today's international tourism.

“…The reason for the low number of female respondents could be due to the fact that in Indian Railways women prefer to travel in the coach reserved specifically for women rather than in mixed coaches, unless they are travelling with company. 10 The reason for planning the journey in advance is scarcity of train tickets, if travel plans are spontaneous.…”

“…This collection of symptoms, also called as 'travel-fatigue' , is also common in travellers in other modes of transportation. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Although, a majority of the participants actively sought help in case they encountered a medical problem while travelling, a substantial number did not want to do anything about it till their journey ended. This indicated that knowledge about the healthcare facilities provided by the Indian Railways and the drugs used to treat minor health problems encountered by travellers while travelling is sparse; hence, policy makers must take steps to generate more awareness about these two issues.…”

1 abstract -national and regional stereotypes are difficult to study in a practical manner. the Collage method, an experimental method for descriptive research material analysis, was designed to that end. it was first tested in a seven-nation survey of college and university students, on the sociotype of the United states and its typical inhabitants. among the samples the one collected in spain (Pais Vasco) was more critical and sometimes more realistic in its perceptions than the rest. the criticism focused on the Us way of life and especially on the nation's role in world politics. the positive aspects of the love-hate relationship with the Usa were mostly projected on the typically american female, whereas the male represented the majority of negative connotations. for the students, the typical Usa was located on the West Coast, in California. the perceptions were clearly influenced by Us media entertainment, in addition to more factual news media information. Keywords:Collage method, regional image, stereotype, ethnicity, the media, Usa, spain.Resumo -pErCEpçõEs dos Estados unidos E dos amEriCanos. o método dE ColagEm. existem problemas de ordem prática no estudo de estereótipos nacionais e regionais. Para resolver esta questão recorreu-se ao método de colagem, uma ferramenta experimental para a análise de documentos de pesquisa de natureza descritiva. O método foi primeiro testado em sete amostras de alunos universitários, inquiridos sobre os estados Unidos e sobre tipos de características sociais dos seus habitantes. entre as amostras a mais crítica, e porventura a mais realista, foi a dos alunos da região basca, em espanha. as suas apreciações críticas centraram-se no estilo de vida dos habitantes dos estados Unidos e especialmente no papel deste país na política mundial. nessa relação de amor-ódio os aspectos positivos diziam respeito sobretudo às mulheres, reservando-se para os homens a maioria das conotações negativas. Para os estudantes, o cidadão típico americano vive na Califórnia. as percepções foram claramente influenciadas por programas de entretimento dos media e secundariamente por outras informações factuais dos meios de comunicação social.

Leur appréciation critique s'est basée sur le style de vie des habitants des États--Unis et spécialement sur le rôle de ce pays dans la politique mondiale. Dans cette relation amour-haine, les aspects positifs concernent surtout les...
