The call for ‘dynamic genesis’ (after Deleuze) in tourism studies

We have learnt from many authors such as Buck (1993), Rothman (1998), Thomas (1994), McKay (2004) that tourism is a very important industry because it inscribes what peoples, places, pasts and presents are (or are supposed to be). We have learnt from Kirschenblatt-Gimblett (1998) that there is an epistemological logic to tourism, which potentially influences how places and spaces are ‘made’ (i.e. the madeness of destinations, in her terms) and rendered distinct as being of a particular ‘here’ (i.e. the herenesses of localities, in her syntax).
