Abstract
The study of the tourist subject has been largely absent from the social scienceliterature in tourism studies. Where discussions of the practice of tourism havetaken place these have mainly centred around notions of the gaze. This perspectiveignores the embodied and felt nature of the tourist experience and other senses suchas smell and hearing. This article moves the discussion forward. The analysis isbased upon ethnographic fieldwork in charter tourist resorts in Mallorca, Spain. Insuch a context the situated body is central to an understanding of tourist practicesand can be examined to understand the constructions of national and gendered identities.
