| Summary: | Abstract Spanning all continents except for Antarctica, this entry seeks to uncover some of the trends and tropes of colonial tourism. It first considers definitions as well as unique and shared features of colonial travel. It ponders the scale of the phenomenon in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries before analyzing the passage over to the colony, colonial cruises and colonial hunting expeditions. It then turns to power relations at imperial hill stations and spas. It takes on the question of indigenous tourism, tied in part to the rise of an expanding middle-class in a number of different colonial contexts. The entry then engages with armchair travel through colonial exhibits, as well as the issue of non-European imperial tourism. Finally, it discusses postcolonial breaks and continuities during and after the era of decolonization. |
