In studies of experience in tourism research there are several references to the "experiential turn" in consumer research (Borrie & Roggenbuck, 2001;Chan, 2009;Jennings et al, 2009;Prebensen & Foss, 2011;Ritchie & Hudson, 2009;Volo, 2009;Walls, Okumus, Wang, & Kwun, 2011b), and the most popular seems to be Holbrook and Hirschman (1982).
