This article explores the role of aesthetics in the tourist experience. Because tourism involves the interpretation of signs within a landscape and landscape imagery is an important way in which places are delineated, aesthetic modes—the beautiful, the sublime, and the picturesque—are important foundations for the making of meaning when touring. However, aesthetics does more than bring order and meaning to what we see while touring by providing paradigms of visuality. These same paradigms also serve to naturalize ideology through the subjective judgments involved in tourism, a process we term “touristic judgment.”
