Analyses on social life produce several approaches on the alleged transition from modernity to postmodernity. Transformation is coupled, or so it is claimed, to changes in how social reality is apprehended. The current study looks at this problem by exploring the tourist sector with its fast growth worldwide as an outstanding feature of the 20th Century. The last decades have witnessed an important and growing diversification in the way tourism occurs in different countries and regions, reflecting tourists´ interests and also the offer of services, involving investments that deeply affect the structures for visitors´ reception. Post-modern tourism is inserted in the literature within this context either to stress the changes occurring in tourist practices, requiring more reflections on the current meaning of tourism, or to indicate analytical points of view and research themes which may be able to subsidize adequate policy initiatives.
