I was somewhat disappointed by the apparent lack of coherence to tourism
sessions and papers at the last AAA meetings in Chicago, and wondered if
there was something we can do to remedy this situation at the next meetings
in San Francisco?
So, if there is anyone interested in giving papers on tourism topics in SF,
is there any way we can talk with each other soon, so that we might try and
put a couple of coherent sessions together in time for the usual April 1
deadline?
Please note that there will be at least two sessions on tourism at the
upcoming SfAA meetings in San Francisco, March 22-26. If I am not
mistaken, Nelson Graburn, Valene Smith, Dennison Nash, Dean MacCannell and
Erve Chambers will be participating in one of the sessions being organized
by Matt Edwards (Memphis). Betsy Hansen (USFl)I am organizing another one
on tourism in Latin America. The Tourism Topical Anthropology Group will
also meet there again and plan for the 2001 SfAA meetings, which will be in
Merida, Mex. (I believe).
