On tourism:

Dean MacCannell The Tourist, A new theory of the leisure class "JdP: You mention at one point in your book that entire cities and regions have become aware of themselves as tourist attractions. This has also become the case with large-scale art institutions, which mount blockbuster exhibitions, for example. How does this kind of self-awareness relate to the construction of a museum as leisure/tourism site?" We often think tourism is a market for physical experiences. What do you think about tourism but in a virtual experience? Do you believe tourism could in some way be moving from the physical to the virtual? Or will virtual tourism not be leisurely/tourism and be forming into something else? a lifestyle perhaps.
