Abstract

Si bien la literatura especializada en turismo y estudio de la cultura venera a Dean Maccannell por sus contribuciones, a la vez que lamenta que el turismo no haya podido consolidarse como disciplina científica aún de más de 60 años de investigación, que tal ¿si fuera por el mismo Maccannell y sus problemas conceptuales que el turismo no se haya podido posicionar como una disciplina seria. En ese contexto, el siguiente trabajo de revisión intenta destruir los mitos de la supuesta contribución del académico americano, analizando exhaustivamente sus incongruencias respecto al estructuralismo francés. Asimismo, se agregan también una crítica seminal a los trabajos de Paul Virilio y Marc Augé. Estos tres autores, en mayor o menor medida, han visto en el turismo una actividad comercial sin comprender cabalmente que todas las sociedades, y culturas tienen sus formas de turismo establecidas acorde a sus sistemas de producción.
