traveller or tourist?

Ungelesener Beitrag von campanilla »

Hallo everyone!
I am a student and traveller from Italy and just become a member of this message board.
I am about to finish university and then I will take sometime to travel and roam free, but, before that, I have to finish my thesis about..travellers and internet.
...SO..I need your help and your feedback and I will propose you some questions. The first is about THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAVELLERS AND TOURISTS: what do you think about it and which category, if any, do you belong to?

I will be so grateful to everyone for answering to this question and the others to come! Thank you so much and have a bright beautiful day!!!

where exactly in thorn-tree?

Ungelesener Beitrag von campanilla »

Hi Frank,

could you please tell me where exactly I should look to find out everything about this discussion topic? Sites like Lonely Planet and Bootsnall have huge forums and I don't have a clue where is the place to look or to post the topic again...and I don't want to have bad or no reactions at all..I am doing this for academic purpose, so I really need to put some of this material in my thesis and can't put insulting replies...sometimes people on forums are really rude, thank God someone can be nice as you've been even if you thought (maybe still think) I am a troll!

Grazie Frank!!!

Traveller or Tourist?

Ungelesener Beitrag von Astrid & MArtin »

Hi Campanilla,
I think "traveller or tourist" is one of the main questions when planning a trip.
And by being on the road for over 3 years now, we could write quite a lot about the differences.
Although we would describe us as travellers, there have been periods in our journey where we would have fitted in all definitions of a tourist.
So this question is not only depending on the person, but on time, budget, place and other parameters.
Travellers see how the regulary tourist buses influence the local life, whereas tourists sit in them. But travellers use buses too...

Could you use Frank's links - and how far have you come with your thesis - any results yet?
We'd be grateful to hear about your findings!

traveller or tourist?

Ungelesener Beitrag von Andreas.Degenhardt »

So I hink that when abroad much depends on the way one travels and behavior. This all starts with the booking process. I went online to book my last holiday home on Tenerife and so was less a tourist than a traveller as I opted for only renting a house on a Finca and had to cater for myself. The Finca was isolated uphill rural and this led to some nice encounters with the locals.
Had I opted for one of the popular "all inclusive" offers on the web, surely I would have been a tourist.
