Abstract

This research investigates the formation and evolution of the tourism milieu through a holistic philosophical lens that integrates Kant’s focus on knowledge foundations and Merleau-Ponty’s insights into perception and embodiment. It emphasizes the significance of reasoning and critical thinking in comprehending destination complexities. The research aims to dissect the interactions among tourists, locals, and their environment, shedding light on the transformative influence of tourism. In this way it offers valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of destination evolution. The research contextualizes its inquiry within Budapest’s Jewish Quarter, a locale rich in cultural vibrancy and urban dynamism. Through a synthesis of theoretical discourse and pragmatic analyses, this study not only enhances our understanding of tourism milieu dynamics but also advocates for the adoption of sustainable development practices within the tourism industry.
