The Experience Of Tourism

Register to read the introduction… (Wikipedia)
Experience is a personal emotion that a person gets when experiencing a feeling of fulfillment in the place they’ve visited, it can be anything from the atmosphere of a specific place to a historic building. People everywhere have different aspirations and something that may be significant to them might not be to another.
Why is visiting Disneyland such a significant place to young children? And why do historical cities appeal to an older generation? No body has the correct answer to either of the questions above because there isn’t one. The answer lies within the tourist that is experiencing the event or place. I have been to many destinations all over the world, and from each one I received a different kind of experience and enjoyment. Walking around a number of museums isn’t something I aim to accomplish when I visit a place. I’d rather see the attractions and walk around for hours taking in everything I’ve ever dreamed of in the time frame of a few hours. I know that others perceive this differently but that’s my point, every one has their own beliefs and their own

Conclusion:
The experience of traveling is something that philosophers have never been able to explain in words, and they never will be able to in the future either. It’s something that is a personal encounter with places, objects, people, and much more and is different for each and every individual in the world. Some people just desire to experience being in a different place or culture just to have a bit of diversity in their everyday lives or to say that they have been there and seen it. Satisfaction comes from the feelings that people experience and that is what makes tourism authentic in a way that no one can justify in conceptual studies or philosophical views.
The significance of authenticity in the provision and experience of cultural tourism is important to the tourist traveling and them alone. They are the only ones that can define the meaning of experimental authenticity and what they believe is important to them and significant in their lives. Everyone’s will be different, yet similar in certain ways, but without the personal experience you have no cultural tourism. The way people react and are inspired by various tourism objects, or feelings is what defines tourism through authenticity.

    Chhabra, Healy, and Sills also provide an interesting argument in which they had uncovered that some local people were reluctant to embrace CHT, particularly the recreation of cultural events. Chhabra, Healy, and Sills claim, “At the same time, they do not want to embrace it because they know that what is beautiful is just a mirage and behind its display lies intense labor, poverty, and suffering” (Chhabra, Healy, & Sills 14). In other words, these events may be perceived as a façade that distracts individuals from seeing underlying socio-political issues that are rooted in the region that they’re visiting. It should go without saying that different regions will undergo dissimilar socio-political issues that aren’t necessarily a direct result or impact from tourism. However, the point is more so that in many cases in lesser developed regions, socio-political issues go unseen when culture is staged.…

    Relationship marketing was how the Consumer Experience Tourism (CET) was originally evolved as an attempt by the marketers to corroborate bonds between brands and consumers. More broadly, Mitchell and Orwig (2002) have suggested that `consumer experience tourism' (CET), can include increased brand loyalty, greater understanding of the product, reinforcement of brand image and increased word of mouth about the product and the visit. The elevated level of personal product involvement (such as through wine tourism experience) is contributed by the elevated level of product knowledge (Mitchell & Mitchell, 2001a). The CET has acquired limited consideration in the marketing literature and has frequently been embodied briefly in discussions of integrated…

    In general the author supports the idea that is impossible to analyse the touristic phenomena without considering the request place(origin), offer place(destination) and their connection. Important factors that form the attitudes and perceptions of the residents for tourism, are the demographic and personal information of the residents. (Belisle, F. J. and Hoy,D.R. 1980). Keitumetse, S. (2009) believes that tourism of cultural heritage constitutes mainly cultural heritage components (monuments, archeological places, museums and others) and cultural experience (festivals, communities and others to follow). So, is not difficult to understand that tourism of cultural heritage is considered as one of the most effective ways to stimulate national patriotism for the local tourists and to grow understanding for the foreign tourists (Lu,H. 2006).…
