Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Calgary (Canada), 2007.

Experiences have become a hot topic inside and outside academia. So what are experiences? That question seems easy to answer until we actually delve into them. Unfortunately, the work on experiences in academia especially in management and tourism studies has not developed a clear understanding or theory of experiences. As well, few have attempted to relate the experiences of tourists/customers to the elements of the organization studied by organizational theorists. It is argued that such a connection is important to organization studies.

520 $a Experiences have become a hot topic inside and outside academia. So what are experiences? That question seems easy to answer until we actually delve into them. Unfortunately, the work on experiences in academia especially in management and tourism studies has not developed a clear understanding or theory of experiences. As well, few have attempted to relate the experiences of tourists/customers to the elements of the organization studied by organizational theorists. It is argued that such a connection is important to organization studies.
520 $a I examined the experience of the guided hike given at the Vermilion Lakes in Banff National Park, Canada. This hike is set in a beautiful valley and is conducted by a knowledgeable guide who discusses not only the flora and fauna of the Park, but spends most of the hike talking about the management of the Park and issues of sustainable development.
520 $a This study is the attempt to provide a wholistic perspective on touristic experiences. I am suggesting, along with others, that the experience is actually a world that includes subjective and objective elements in dialogue with each other. A variant of philosophical hermeneutics serves as the philosophical underpinnings of this study. A model of the theatre was developed based on hermeneutical ideas, especially those of Gadamer, to help aid the attempts to understand the guided hike. This model was applied to the organizations that presented the hike and to the reception by the tourist/hikers of that presentation.
520 $a The result is a study that examines and synthesizes elements of the organization usually considered under organizational theory with those of the hiker perspective. The hiker perspective is examined through ideas current in tourism such as the gaze, authenticity and beauty.
