 Self-Actualization through Leisure and Tourism activities 

 Body:

 L+T acitivities can help to "feel" yourself again, to re-discover your body as a source of self-identity.

 In post-industrial societies you are supposed to "do" something with and for your body, to make it more beautiful, more presentable, ready for competition.

 

 

 

 

 

 Mind:

 The same process is also taking place as far as the "mind", the non-physical existence of an individuum, is concerned.

Learning something for and about yourself is competing with the idea of learning something "useful", "use" your vacation to gain "cultural capital" (Bourdieu), albeit through showing off as a "Schnäppchenjäger".
