| Abstract: | This paper explores tourism and tourists visiting prostitutes as both being examples of liminal behaviors, that is behaviours undertaken by those operating at social thresholds. Prostitution exists as a "fuzzy legal" activity, in that while largely proscribed in many countries, it nonetheless continues within a legal and social framework of constraint and limited tolerance. Tourism can also be ovserved as a liminal behavior, in that it is a temporarily constrained, socially tolerated period of wish fulfilment. |
