Non-Places and Tourism

The present paper put the non-places theory under scrutiny considering that there is no place in the world that can be termed non-place. This not only defies the principles of anthropologybut also borders the boundaries of ethnocentrism.

Enrooted in the belief as more difficult to read the better and more credible for scholars,popular wisdom accepted non-place theory without any criticism. With more than thousand copies sold in the world, work of Augé should be critically re-considered
