"The Culture of Tourism and the Tourism of Culture," a symposium
sponsored by the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies at
SMU, will provide a forum in which travel professionals and community
leaders can take a step back from day-to-day pressures and consider the
larger ramifications of tourism in an academic setting. Tourism and travel
has become the largest industry on the globe, but its social, cultural, politi-
cal, and economic implications are only beginning to become clear. In
this symposium, specialists will draw from history, anthropology, literary
studies, and practical experience to examine the social and economic con-
sequences of tourism on southwestern communities and cultures. The
symposium is Macrh 24-25. Sessions and the keynote address by Hal
Rothman of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, will be at McCord
Auditorium, Dallas Hall at SMU. For information, contact Jane Lenz Elder
at the Clements Center for Southwest Studies, 214/768-3684; e-mail
