| This
article reports a phenomenological investigation into the
perspectives and experiences of battlefield tourists visiting
the landscapes of the Western Front, the setting of trench
warfare in the Great War of 1914-1918. Based on a small
scale, participant observational methodology the study provides
insights into the appeals of the First World War landscapes
to visitors in the 1990s, suggests how these appeals may
differ in quality and intensity among different groups,
and how the tourism preferences of groups may be intrinsically
linked to other aspects of their life experiences and leisure
behaviour. |
