Tourism destinations are shaped through the ways they are represented and talked about. This assignment asks you to choose a specific location (a city or a historic site, monument, etc.) and examine how it is presented for tourism online. What are the main themes that are highlighted and marketed to tourists? How are they represented in images and text? What aspects of this place are not represented, and why may that be the case?
Logistics: Choose a place you have visited or are very familiar with and see what comes up when you search online for tourism/tourist attractions there. Select between three and five websites, enough to give you about 20 images and sufficient text to analyze. These can be websites from specific tourism businesses, general tourism sites, or travel blogs. Find material that shows some overlap in focus, so your analysis remains manageable (if you choose a city, there may be many specific tourist sites covered, so focus on a few only).
