Abstract
Tourism is increasingly recognized for its significance by anthropologists as one of the world’s largest industries in which people of very different backgrounds, religions, socioeconomic statuses, and ages interact. Most anthropology students do not become professional anthropologists, but many of them will have repeated interactions with people of other cultures as tourists. This activity accomplishes several goals simultaneously. It provides students with practice in analyzing ubiquitous tourism messages; it introduces them to some contemporary concepts that are applied to the phenomenon of tourism, as well as other anthropological topics, and it renders students’ future experiences as worthy of an anthropological perspective.
