2. *The travelling of men often symbolizes “adventures”
and “risk-taking” & “bravery”
*E.g. The first man who visited 201 countries
*Graham Hughes, 33, used buses, taxis, trains and his
own two feet to travel 160,000 miles in exactly 1,426
days - all on a shoestring of just $100 a week
*His lowest point was when his sister, Nicole, died of
cancer two years ago
*He says: 'I think I wanted to show that the world is not
some big, scary place, but in fact is full of people who
want to help you”
*(Blake, 2012)

3. * New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Nepalese
Tenzing Norgay reached the top of Mount
Everest, the highest mountain in the world, at
11:30 a.m. on May 29, 1953
*The first couple to climb up the Mountain
(Rosenberg)

4. Only MALE is mentioned in such pioneering
journey & in history.

5. *Male: Dominates travelling
*=> growth and maturity
*=> becoming a “man”
*Women: Stays at home and looks after children
*=> “Good girls go to Heaven. Bad girls go
everywhere” (Enloe,2000, P.21)
*“[Tourism] is a set of presumptions about
manhood, education and
pleasure”(Enloe,2000,p.28)

6. *Male travellers might opt for alcohol,
entertainments & sex escape
*Visit bars and pubs
*E.g. Moulin Rouge in France
⇒Enjoy Can Can dance
⇒Male gaze in sexual female bodies
⇒Though tourists of both sexes can go there
(maybe out of curiosity)
⇒Originally: For man’s sexual desire only
“Women are something to be experienced”
(Enloe,2000,P.28)

7. *Case Study:
*Red Light District in Netherland

8. *For Fordism:
*Production oriented: sell similar sexual services
*Highly standardized : Expected range of
services & charges
*Tourists gaze (exotic; unlike the prostitutes in
homeland)
*Extraordinary (away from everyday)

9. *Window “shopping” for sex services
*=> reinforced male gaze
*=> female bodies are being commodified
*=> Sell herself like the mannequins sell clothes
*Inferiority of the locals; superiority of the foreign male tourists

12. *Efficiency: Two hour tour to walk through RLD &
Museum of Prostitution
*Calculability
*=>From USD $ 34.87 (expected price)
*Predictability
⇒You know where you’re going, doing & seeing
⇒E.g. Guided walk, visiting museum, and
witnessing the prostitutes for your own eyes
Homogeneity
*Same tour day by day, on & on

13. *Tourists believe that they are “insiders”, who
are able to see the “real” stuff
* Yet it is merely “staged authenticity”
*A “show” viewed by the foreign tourists
*Not only male gaze is reinforced, but also
tourist gaze

14.  Women (prostitutes) => Dangerous
 Classified as “dark side” of the City (then what about casinos
and pubs?)
 Locals: “friendly”, “knowledgeable” and “reliable”
 => Superficial social relations (like a trustworthy “friend” or
“brother”)
 Has to rely on the local guide in order to be “safe”
 Make the place sounds like more dangerous and risky
=> Don’t go by yourself alone!

15. *Adrenaline rush by witnessing the sexy
prostitutes in the window display
*More than the gaze by male
⇒As well as female tourists
⇒View the prostitutes as if they are sex objects
=>Male gaze is being legitimized by such tours

16. *Condoms are one of the “must-have” souvenirs
from Holland
*Signify the sexual freedom of the country
*Attract tourists who want to experience and
satisfy they sexual desire
*“Sexualized” Holland => as a sex paradise
