Without doubt, tourism is a business. Landscapes, people and cultures are traded as goods. In order to provide the demand side with a secure and guaranteed supply these touristic goods more and more were disembedded from the concrete space. The result is a displaced tourism. Cultural tourism is an example demonstrating how spaces are culturalized, that means a touristification of spaces on the basis of attributing and staging them with "culture". These tourism-made culture has no or hardly a linkage with the given space.
