Tourist Economy

The mock covers below aim to show how the short term tourist economy helps the occupy movement to gain financial momentum. The images on the front of the covers aim to highlight how the tourist experience would be an inclusive within a heterogeneous space, as opposed to enclavic tourist spaces as termed by Tim Edensor. Tim Edenser describes how


Enclavic tourist space is akin to Sibley’s ‘purified’ spaces, which are strongly circumscribed and framed, wherein conformity to rules and adherence to cen- tralized regulation hold sway (1988: 412), or may be typified as ‘single-purpose spaces’. Carefully planned and managed to provide specific standards of cleanli- ness, service, décor and ‘ambience’, the continual upkeep of enclavic spaces is crucial to minimize underlying ambiguity and contradiction.
