美國史學家布爾斯廷(Daniel Boorstin)1962年的The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America一書,就以字源考察隔斷兩個字的意義糾纏。布爾斯廷說,旅行(travel)字源來自中世紀travelen,與法文travail(工作)同源,原意是因勞動而移動、走路走到骨折。再往前追溯到拉丁字源trepalium,意思竟是三塊木板——沒錯,滿清十二酷刑夾斷手指的道具也!
前面提到的布爾斯廷,對待觀光文化實在嚴苛,有如道德警察。他批判觀光客東南西北搞不清就被帶去再帶回,所見所聞只有假快感,旅行體驗只是「假事件」(pseudo-event)。這種觀光道德心態,被很多布爾喬亞知識分子接收:一樣坐飛機、一樣住旅館、一樣看博物館玩迪士尼,布爾喬亞總是對於嗡嗡嘈雜的團客感到不屑。文化研究理論戲稱這種心態為「他們是觀光客、我是旅行者」(They are tourists, I am traveler)情結。
