Why do we consider replicating "like being in your own home" in all manner of other places to be 'special'? Cruise ships, hotels, even 'camping out', etc. all seek to replicate the immediate personal environment of 'everyday life'. Isn't the point of doing something 'different' to experience 'difference'? No wonder Guy DeBord defined tourism as "the trivialization of the truly spectacular."
