Tourist agency as valorisation: Making Dharavi into a tourist attraction
journal contribution
posted on 2018-02-07, 14:31 authored by Fabian FrenzelTourist agency is an area of renewed interest in tourism studies. Reflecting on existing
scholarship the paper identifies, develops and critically examines three main approaches
to tourism agency, namely the Service-dominant logic, the performative turn, and tourist
valorisation. Tourist valorisation is proposed as a useful approach to theorise the role of
tourists in the making of destinations and more broadly to conceptualise the intentions,
modalities and outcomes of tourist agency. The paper contributes to the structuring of current
scholarship on tourist agency. Empirically it addresses a knowledge gap concerning
the role of tourists in the development of Dharavi, Mumbai into a tourist destination.
