Resumo(s)
Interaction is a matter of concern in all human activities. So far, this basic principle in tourism has
been largely analysed and promoted through the perspective of ‘the gaze’. In line with a long North-
Atlantic tradition that values vision over all the other senses, tourists are too often stereotyped as
gazing subjects. In this article, I present tourists in a more encompassing way: as sensing subjects. I
contend that the integration of virtues such as morality and cosmopolitanism in tourism derives
considerably from the deliberate inclusion of the sensory in tourism activity. These are virtues
best authenticated to the tourists through multisensorial incorporation, rather than just through
detached gaze. I address the importance of multisensorial experience in the constitution of
tourists’ cosmopolitan selves in moral terms by drawing on my own ethnographic research in
the Mozambican village of Canhane.
