{"title":"Travelling second class. Czech tourists between national identity and Europeanness in Cairo, 1890s–1930s","authors":"S. Lemmen","doi":"10.1080/1755182X.2022.2148759","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1755182X.2022.2148759","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, European tourism overseas often developed in the wake of colonial expansion and European hegemony. This was the case with Cairo, which developed into a main tourist location for well-to-do Europeans during the nineteenth century. Colonial interests and modernisation projects turned the Egyptian capital into a centre of both colonial and tourist endeavours, drawing ever more Europeans to visit the ‘land of the pyramids’ and the ‘cradle of mankind’. These tourists returned home with images of ancient and modern Egypt, of European rule and colonial power. This article focuses on Czech tourists visiting Cairo from the late nineteenth century and throughout the interwar period, considering their involvement in Cairo as ‘noncolonial tourism’. Based on the concept of ‘imaginative geography’ as used by Derek Gregory, Czech tourists followed general European categories of ‘West’ and ‘East’, or of ‘Europe’ and ‘non-Europe’ when describing Egypt in their travelogues. While they identified with the ‘West’ and ‘Europe’, they also scripted a colonial Cairo that was foreign to them. In contrast, they constituted a ‘Czech Cairo’ as a counterpart, which allowed the travellers to stay outside the rigid colonial logic of ‘coloniser’ and ‘colonised’ to some extent.","PeriodicalId":42854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism History","volume":"15 1","pages":"3 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47312406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this period, the number of tourists visiting Iran each year grew from fewer than 80,000 in 1962 to nearly 700,000 by 1977, and as a result, tourism became an increasingly important sector of Iran’s economy. The article assesses the factors that contributed to the growth of the industry and investigates the extent to which this growth was the direct result of policies enacted by governmental organisations, in particular the Sāzmān-e Jalb-e Sayyāhān (Tourist Organisation), the Plan Organisation and Iran Air. Because Iran’s tourism industry was so underdeveloped in the 1960s, one of the primary tasks of Iran’s tourism planners was to market Iran around the world as an attractive tourist destination. The article evaluates the various advertisement strategies the government employed to attract tourists, particularly tourists from the more lucrative markets in Europe and the United States. It utilises a variety of primary sources in Persian and English, most importantly the three-volume Asnādi az Sanʿat-e Jahāngardi dar Irān (Documents on the Tourism Industry in Iran), which contains a wealth of material on tourism in Iran from 1922 until 1978.","PeriodicalId":42854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism History","volume":"14 1","pages":"239 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47127743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many tourists either did not own cameras or preferred to rely on professionally produced photographs. Foreign travel for many was the experience of a lifetime and for those visiting Egypt and the Holy Land the desire to have images of places familiar only from the words of the Bible provided a ready market for commercial photographers. This paper takes a rare surviving collection of images from Egypt and the Holy Land, reconstructs the itinerary which the tourist probably took and examines how the images might have been acquired. In this instance, the images are in the form of lantern slides and to have a complete collection survive is rare, and the images offer a window into a now vanished relationship between the tourist and the commercial photographer whose role it was to provide atmospheric, often iconic, views of the monuments and the countries visited. Part of that role may have been to create scenes corresponding to what has become known as the ‘tourist gaze’.","PeriodicalId":42854,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tourism History","volume":"14 1","pages":"263 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47991598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
