And yet a fundamental value of a cosmopolitan outlook--namely, to not only to be \"at home in the world\" but also to experience the world in an authentic sense--depends on the culturally embedded, parochial, and particular world views which it rejects. In Cosmopolitanism and Tourism: Rethinking Theory and Practice, contributors take this as a starting point. What does a \"worldly\" consciousness mean to people situated in different cultural landscapes and to what extent might these intersect with cosmopolitan values? How is cosmopolitanism marketed in tourism and tourist-related industries such as service learning and study abroad? And finally, what roles do social and economic class, educational background, gender, and other factors have in cosmopolitan claims? The contributors to this edited collection address these questions in a series of case studies that range from Guatemala, Bolivia, and Ireland to China, India, and Dubai. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more information, check out A Conversation with Robert Shepherd, author of Cosmopolitanism and Tourism: Rethinking Theory and Practice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Shepherd is editor of the Critical Asian Studies journal, lecturer for the Smithsonian Journeys program, and adjunct professor of international affairs at George Washington University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.1 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48785913118969,"sku":"9781498549776","price":194.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/AG1ZWJTKXO9781498549776_f0270be2-e43a-469b-8c64-dc6e7324625d.webp?v=1786148393","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/cosmopolitanism-and-tourism-rethinking-theory-and-practice-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
