Description

This scholarly work examines the complex dynamics of Western women's romantic and sexual encounters with local men in Egyptian tourist resorts, particularly in the Sinai. Drawing on revealing interviews conducted in resort settings, the book moves beyond surface-level holiday romance to investigate how broader narratives of place and desire shape tourism marketing and traveller expectations. It explores the romanticisation of Third World destinations through stereotypical imagery of paradisiacal landscapes, deserts, and the iconic figure of the Bedouin sheikh, revealing how these constructed narratives position such resorts as existing outside modern realities. The work critically examines the relationship between intimate encounters and the wider commodification of culture, place, and identity within tourism industries. Published by Routledge as part of the New Directions in Tourism Analysis series, this book provides vital theoretical and empirical insight into postcolonial relationships, gender dynamics, and the power structures embedded within global tourism practices.

Key Features

The book features in-depth interviews with both women and men from Egyptian resort communities, offering authentic voices and lived experiences within the Sinai tourist economy.

Sex, Tourism and the Postcolonial Encounter critically deconstructs how Third World destinations are marketed through romantic and exotic imagery to Western tourists.

This Routledge publication explores the intersection of postcolonial theory with tourism studies, examining power imbalances in cross-cultural romantic and sexual encounters.

The work analyses how desert landscapes, paradise narratives, and Bedouin stereotypes function as marketing tools that shape traveller expectations and behaviour.

Positioned within the New Directions in Tourism Analysis series, the book contributes to contemporary debates about globalisation, cultural commodification, and gendered tourism practices.
