Routledge Sexuality, Women, and Tourism - Academic Book

Explore the complex connections between gender, travel, and intimacy in this academic work from Routledge. This book provides a unique look at why and how foreign Western women engage in cross-border sexual and intimate relations while traveling or living temporarily in Central American countries. As an in-depth ethnographic account, the text follows the transnational encounters of heterosexual North American and European women. It examines the new sexual and social practices that emerge from contemporary global tourism. Readers will find a detailed study of how shifting sexual cultures at home and abroad, consumer culture, and the increasing mobility of women shape these modern experiences. Part of the Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility series, this book offers a deep look into the social dynamics of global travel. It is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the changing landscape of global tourism and human mobility.
