Sažetak
Visual culture and especially photography is crucial to the rituals of modern tourism. It shapes popular perceptions of peoples and places and supports so called places-myths, that is, stereotypes and clichés associated with particular regions. Although the literature describes various ways in which visual imagery and practices influence travellers’ destination choice and mediate tourist experience, there hasn’t been much research on how touristic images produced by tourist promoters contribute to the construction of cultural spaces they represent. This paper will focus on theoretical perspectives on nature of touristic photography as a system of representation and its role in cultural production and consumption of places and identities. In particular, it will explore the issue of contemporary touristic images, especially tourist posters produced in Croatia, as visual narratives that are privileging particular version of place identity.
