Stag party tourism is a highly ritualized contemporary rite of passage that is associated with drunken excess and norm-breaking toxic masculinity. Despite contravening societal rules and encouraging deviant behaviour, stag parties are generally tolerated. This paper explores how stag tourism is a constructed rite of passage and a scripted liminality, packaged by destination marketers, staged by service providers, and performed enthusiastically by participants. Analysis of interview and observational data suggests that the bachelor movie genre is the inspiration which informs expectations and experience. Indeed, the degree of inter-textuality between on-screen (reel life) and off-screen (real life) performances confirms that this is a scripted liminality, informed not by elders or peers, but by Hollywood film makers. We conclude with a discussion of a series of contributions and implications for practice.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
