Media Construction of Britain as a Destination for Japanese Tourists: Social Constructionism and Tourism

This paper delineates the empirical study to investigate the phenomenon highlighting the theoretical position and research methodology for this specific research project. This paper, specifically, outlines a social construction theory hat provides an approach that locates tourism in a wider context of society and culture of a generating country and views contemporary tourism as a social and cultural phenomenon.
