Abstract

The objective of this essay is to present an ongoing reflection on the human body as an interface of the tourist experience. Starting from a model of Philosophical Anthropology that sees the human as a unitary being, and focusing on the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, we radically observe how the factors body, space, time and intentionality shape the tourist experience, fostering a deep sense of unison with the environment and of care and ethical consideration for all living things. Such reflections are an invitation to reformulate our current way of seeing and being tourism, making it more sensitive and ethically valid in its ontic and methodological approaches.
