This book explores the sociocultural impacts of
tourism in San Pedro, Belize by paying special
attention to identity construction of tourists and
hosts. This is achieved through a qualitative study
that analyzes narratives gathered through formal and
informal interviews and contextualized by participant
observation. By utilizing a communicative
conceptualization of identity and intercultural
theorizing, light is shed on the complex negotiation
process that tourists and hosts employ when making
sense of their experiences, themselves and others
through talk. The author demonstrates that the role
of communication and the level of adaptation are
central to satisfactory outcomes for these
(intercultural) tourist-host encounters. She also
illustrates the disparate ways tourists and hosts
construct identity and negotiate the presence of
tourists on the community. By incorporating critical
notions of history and power, our understanding is
enhanced of problematic tourist communication styles;
hosts' preference for tourists' adaptation; and
communicative strategies tourists utilized to
reconcile differences in privilege. Finally,
practical advice based on these findings is provided.
