Abstract
"Liquid modernity" implies a continuous transformation of the present-day culture and the phenomena generated by it. New formats of socio-cultural practices dictate the necessity to revise theoretical definitions of socio-cultural phenomena from which they originate. In particular, this concerns tourism as a special socio-cultural phenomenon and socio-cultural practice. The article discusses the new formats of tourism pushing for a reconsideration of its traditional definition.
