Abstract

This paper examines the role of ethnic tourism in nationalist movements. The colonial experience is a double victimization in that cultural devaluation often accompanies material conquest and exploitation. Nationalist rhetoric reflects this experience, projecting a dual message of historical injustice and cultural revaluation. This study focuses on the potential of ethnic tourism in Wales to serve as a medium for the nationalist message, by projecting an image of the Welsh both as victims of injustice and as bearers of a distinctive culture. Analysis of Welsh attractions suggests that tourism provides a resource for the nationalist movement, by furnishing yet another outlet for its message.
