Tourism and Anthropology: a possible approach

Abstract

Tourism is seen by anthropology as "something smaller" without importance. Due the industrial focus of the activity, some anthropologists object studying tourism as human phenomenon. The target of this essay is trying to show that tourism, as social activity, and anthropology can work together to develop both areas. Therefore we are looking for tourism studious, that focus the activity not only as economy, and anthropologists that by their turn, don't consider tourism a frivolity and are conscious that on approach is possible and, why not say, necessary.
