Resumen
The present short essay review not only explores the conceptual dichotomies of tourism applied research, but also distinguishes the difference between tourism, as a mere business and touring which exhibits the needs of discoverying other places. The main thesis of this work is that ideology sorts people to different classes for the circulation and accumulation of capital. Tourism is one of the apparatuses that organize this class-sorting function. Again, from surface appearance, the main classes involved with tourism are the owners of the tourism firms, the capitalists, the workers in the tourism industry, the tourist proletariat, and the tourists, who appear as consumers of the tourist product. Setting aside the tourism capitalist for the moment, examine the tourism workers and the tourists more carefully. The tourism workers seem unexceptional. They are much like workers in any other mainly service industry.
