External influences Not unlike other destinations around the world, Caribbean tourism is particularly vulnerable to external forces.
Here the planter’s indulgence in bodily pleasures are represented through his pipe for smoking tobacco and his alcoholic drink being poured by a young bare-breasted slave, described as a ‘quaderoon’ (and thus suggestive of sexual intercourse between masters and slaves). Dressed in luxury goods from around the world (silk, beaver, fine chintz), his body given over to dissipation, this figure epitomises the European’s vulnerability to ‘hybridisation’ and ‘creolisation’. There was a moral danger inherent in the climate itself and in the proximity of ‘different’ bodies (Young 1995).
The tourist immersed his or her body in a tropical experience of sights, scents and tastes in which nature was understood to be more bountiful, more colourful, with more flowers, exotic fruits and leafy greenery. In these Edenic places where others laboured and living would be easy, tourists are encouraged to believe that they can engage guiltlessly in sensuous abandon and bodily pleasures. But just as in the earliest accounts of the Caribbean plantations, those who enter this tropical paradise put their own bodies at risk of moral corruption.
