Tourism, Place and Narrative: Local Interpretations of Santorini
This paper explores the local perspective in making and consuming (tourism) place. Diverging from the traditional distinction between tourist as consumer and local as service provider it addresses the need to explore the local within the consumption of place (Sherlock 2001). In so doing, it relies on the recognition that narratives play a central role in the construction and consumption of place. Based on the analysis of in-depth interviews with local residents of the island of Santorini, Greece, three interwoven, but also conflicting narratives and senses of place are presented.
