| Resumo: | Tourism is the world’s largest industry in the 21st century and a phenomenon structured around dynamic and tentacular connections. Among the forms this phenomenon enshrines is Memory Tourism, which has assumed increasing importance. This form of tourism is based on a colonial heritage whose values are shaped according to memories of a once shared culture and heritage: that of overseas empires. By acquiring a new role, these postcolonial places open up new readings and respond to a societal challenge of contemporary mobility through looking at travel as a way of building culture and defining identities. This is the reason why it is proposed to map Portuguese heritage in the Zanzibar archipelago, a place that was part of the Lusitanian empire for two hundred years and a source of multiculturalism and otherness to which our age is heir. |
