Turismo, lazer e consumo: uma abordagem compreensiva do “turismo de massa”

Abstract

This research seeks to build an alternative to the common knowledge regarding the stringency about issues such as consumption and tourism, withal in its most controversial forms: the mass tourism. By a reflexive effort, made from field observations and interviews, this paper seeks, during this present development, to offer new interpretative approaches which could be used to discuss these phenomena’s considered “good to think” categories. This paper defines itself as an attempt to relate complementary themes, offering a ray of light on a matter that, immerse in the obscurity of natural conceptions of things, has its critics legitimized by a view that sees the consumption and the tourism as secondary phenomena’s. The goal here is, basically, to increase the debate by using the anthropological point or view which provides the possibility of developing an approach based on comprehension. Therefore, judgments that confuse the understanding of these realities are avoided.
