Most of us, at various moments in our lives, either adopt a `tourist' identity of are framed within another's tourist experience. Travellers' Tales investigates the future for travelling in a world whose boundaries are shifting and dissolving. The contributors bring together popular and critical discourses of travel to explore questions of identity and politics; history and narration; collecting and representing other cultures. Travellers' tales oscillate between the thrill of novel experiences and unexpected pleasures, and the alienation and loneliness of exile in a strange land. The contributions review recent work on the discourses of tourism, travel and cultural politics; the effects of global interactions and local resistances, and the ways in which records, memorials and signs have all been used to describe the experience of encountering the `other'.

Travel writing at the outset records the experience of an author touring a place for the pleasure of travel. Travelogues generally exhibit a coherent narrative coupled with aesthetics beyond the logging of dates or events as found in travel journals which in fact can be ascribed as Literary Travel Writings or Travelogues in popular parlance. Travel writing has flourished through the ages, and early travel accounts by explorers and travelers continue to be valued as a significant source of information about history of cultures and places. Contemporary travel narratives have a long and established history of literary conventions to draw upon their focus on the writer's experience an a personal level and point of view. Stephen Kohl, a well-known critic on Travel Writing, draws a parallel between aspects of travel writing and autobiography by opining that the main concept in both forms is the fashion in which the distinctive personal nature gets captured vividly. Critical reaction to travel narrative has a mixed history with scholars like Paul Fussell observing Travel Narratives as a 'Haven for second-rate literary talent'. Yet their popularity continues unabated, with travel writers having achieved not only remarkable commercial success but also made on impact on literature.

Travel and tourism 'stories' have been told and recorded within every culture, in every period of oral and written history, and across the breadth of the fact/fiction continuum. Taking two broad themes as its starting point - travellers and their narratives, and place narratives in travel and tourism - the book has a deliberately wide scope, with different chapters addressing the subject through various relevant 'lenses' and in relation to a number of different contexts. The narratives discussed include both historical and contemporary, as well as 'real-life' and fictional, narratives contained within travel writing, travel and tourism stories and different types of media. In relation to the principal themes of the book, some chapters also explore the importance of collecting memorabilia and image making in the recording, remembering, writing, telling or disseminating of stories about travel and tourism experiences and some examine the ways in which travel and tourism narratives may construct and reinforce personal, collective and place identities. The whole book is marked by an over-arching concern for narrative interpretation as a means of understanding, and providing a new perspective on, travel and tourism.

Travel Narratives in Dialogue examines nineteenth-century imperialist travelogues written about Peru and examines Peruvian writers of the same period who fashioned their own travelogues as protests against how imperialist writers denigrated Peru and Peruvian culture. This study exposes the dialogic nature of travelogues in the Bakhtinean sense and underscores how the travel-writing subjects produce texts that serve as fora of struggle, coercion, control, and contestation depending on the personal, imperialist, nationalist, and proto-feminist agendas the writers supported. Travel narratives examined include those written by J. J. von Tschudi, Madeline Vinton Dahlgren, Flora Tristan, Juan Bustamante, Manuel A. Fuentes, and José Manuel Valdéz y Palacios.
