Please remember that this Penguin model is barely books 2 and three of Apollonius' epic.

Graburn anthropologist Harrison (2001), when she interviewed at length returned tourists in their homes, along with all their mementoes and photographs.

Riley and Love (2000: 179) show that, to date, the fourth moment has hardly been touched in the ethnographic tourism literature, and the fifth, they claim, is completely absent.
