Cultural Tourism can be a very personal experience. I spent five months living in Zimbabwe in the fall of 1998. Was my experience there one of cultural tourism? Where is the line between tourism and really understanding another culture, or is there such a line? Fundamentally, can we ever really know the other, as in another culture, or are we stuck within our own cultural frameworks? What of Arizpe and Appadurai's points that there is no bounded culture within which we could understand each other?
