Tourism, as a commodity, has enlisted the help of the mass media in the creation of its own power structure and discourse. On the surface, this discourse promotes and encourages acceptance and difference; however, deeper within its structure, it reveals homogeneity and a "one-size-fits-all" attitude. As such, this study explores the various ways in which newspaper travel articles reproduce and articulate local social and cultural realities to an outsider, while assisting in the creation of cultural perspectives. With this in mind, this study proposes to assess the frames presented in The New York Times travel section coverage of travel and tourism in Portugal, and how individuals with different international travel experiences and perspectives on tourism interpret and make sense of articles using these frames. A secondary purpose is to explore the extent to which the identified frames are reflected and recognized in the potential travelers rating of international vacation requirements. Through an exploratory contextual analysis, this study suggests two frames: a contemporary frame and a conventional frame. A subjective and direct account of the writer's experiences, reveals the soothing and non-critical with which writers approach locations, and therefore frame locations. These frames (contemporary and conventional) provided the basis for the articles used in four focus groups. The focus groups explored the respondents' prevailing perspectives on the perceived benefits and shortfalls of international travel, as well as their general reception and consumption of tourism articles. This study finds that focus group arguments make clear that the different reactions of the participants, although not free from contradictions, are a confirmation of their close examination of and concern over the images promoted by mass mediated messages. Finally, a survey was used successfully in order to measure the extent to which the identified frames are reflected in the potential travelers' rating of international vacation requirements, as well as to identify and compare the international vacation requirements against the collected demographics. While some may argue that newspaper travel sections simply respond to and reflect the social and cultural climate of a destination and its people, this study suggests that newspaper travel sections take a much more active role in the production and confirmation of cultural perspectives through their framing of the destination and host.
