Tourism is a cultural construction.It has been examined in the book through Rajasthan. Rajasthan with its rich heritage and culture is a state that has been capitalized by the tourism industry for its booming business. It is seen as representing traditional authentic way of life, a bygone era that is available to be seen and experienced by tourists before it modernizes and changes its character to develop a new existential form. This book is an attempt to understand this representation of Rajasthan- is it really what it is made to seem by the tourism industry?
