摘要
The process by which travel agents market Third World tourism is examined. It is argued that travel literature seeks to portray indigenous peoples as authentic, in order to cater to certain images within Western consciousness about how the Other is imagined to be. Authenticity is constructed in multifaceted ways according to the type of tourist consuming the image. Although images of the Other marketed in travel literature have been constructed and reconstructed over centuries of contact between the West and Third World, the impact of touristic discourse upon the Western imagination has an independent political significance.
