  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>The internationalisation of tourism has resulted in the mediation of spatially-stretched commodity chains which often transcend international frontiers and which in businesses from different cultures come into contact with one other.

A more precise naming and locating of power is vital to enhancing our understanding of the way in which the tourism product is commodified.</jats:p>
