What is Territory

Chapter 2
Handbook of Research on Urban Tourism, Viral Society, and the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Territories are doors and bridges to the encounter with the other; they are possibilities of encounter; they are meeting points in the search for possibilities of encountering the other, the current territories, physical and spiritual territories, means, more and more, landscapes, atmospheres, and electronic environments. In fact, our life is now a circumnavigation of digital and virtual territories.

Tourism as Experience and Desire for Territory and Traveling
Moisés de Lemos Martins (University of Minho, Portugal)
Copyright: © 2022 |Pages: 9
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-6684-3369-0.ch002
Abstract
The approach the author takes on tourism is not related to economic analysis, nor even a political analysis stricto sensu. He configures tourism as a cultural activity. The perspective developed on tourism is here phenomenological and socio-anthropological. Hence, the author does not dwell on business (nec/otium – not/leisure; activity, work, commerce) but mostly on leisure (otium – time free from activity). First, he points out that tourism reflects our current obsession with one territory and traveling in one territory. The second element developed in this chapter is the experience of traveling, which is always a possibility of an encounter – an encounter with the other and an encounter with nature.
