Description
Summary:This case study presents a courageous attempt of the researcher to investigate into tourism discourse, particularly travel blog posts, from a multimodal approach. Analysis of four blog posts by British travelers who toured Hanoi seek to fnd out: (1) What aspects of Hanoi were described by the British travellers; (2) In what ways texts and images in the blog posts help the travelers expressed their positive appreciation of Hanoi; and (3) Which sociological perspective(s) of tourism discourse can be found prominent in those travel blog posts. The researcher hopes that this analysis will present a source of feedback from international travelers to tourism practice in Hanoi. She also expects to provide insights into multimodal analysis of tourism discourse – which remains an under-researched area in Vietnam.
