Abstract

Every tourist experience presupposes a crossing of boundaries, which takes place in a multiplicity of aspects as material as immaterial, from the change of scenery and customs to the perception of cultural diversity and contact with other languages and linguistic varieties. In an age of relentless mobility, the boundaries become increasingly blurred; even our lives, as explained by Anthony Elliott and John Urry in their latest book Mo- bile lives, are mobile; At the same time, the dimension of the journey has lost its uniqueness to become a universal form of life.
