cultural tourism, performances, narratives, environmental bubbleAbstract
The present article focuses on the experience of groups of predominantly American teenagers tourists traveling to Mediterranean Europe on educational tours, and is aimed at analyzing the dynamics, the contradictions and the multiple narratives taking place, during an organized tour, between individual and group, expectations and reality, narratives and performances. At the level of performances, the re- search focuses on the dual nature of the environmental bubble, the structure consistent with the organiza- tion of a package tour. At the level of discourses, the analysis focuses on the dialectic and the contrast between the trip as imagined and the trip as lived.
