Cultural tourism within the United States and United Kingdom

The following slideshow is the result of an image-based research project on cultural tourism within the United States and United Kingdom. The American and British culture can be defined as ‘mass culture’ as it is associated with commercial culture and any commodity available for purchase (Borromore 2002: 84). As both cultures are 'mass cultures' this slideshow will present images on cultural tourist attractions within the United States and the United Kingdom and illustrate whether these culture tourist attractions are based upon cultural industry (mass culture) or hereditary sightings.
