ARCH 329 — Archaeology and Tourism in Ghana
Archaeology and Heritage Studies · University of Ghana
This course will help students to understand the ―tourist culture‖ and its effect on the hosts and the environment. It will involve studies of tourism and its role in acculturation, modernization, and economic development. Tourism will be analyzed as a cultural phenomenon with complex meanings for both host and guest societies. Issues of cultural and artistic authenticity, identity production and marketing, and modification of both the tourist and the toured areas will be addressed. The student will be trained to package archaeological resources and the historic environment for tourism purposes, and will be encouraged to develop class projects, which will offer her or him the opportunity to develop research skills in the ethnographic study of tourism.
