This paper explores the spatial and behavioural aspects of control as a result of cumulative learning in intercultural adaptation in tourism. An important geographical dimension of control management is the tactic of escape to the metaworlds: the ways tourists travel between the secluded metaspaces of tourism and the Other public space in order to regulate their exposure to cultural difference. In the case discussed - today's institutionalized backpacking in India - the perception of control is achieved by an interesting variety of spatiotemporal and behavioural decisions which together create the metaspatial dimension of tourism. The search for predictability and cultural dominance and the consequent segregation, rather than limitless individual exploration, construct the culture of today's international tourism. | ||
