考虑了关于场所消费的两种观点：“商业隐喻”，其中城市被视为可消费的“产品”；以及从文化角度对旅游景点与神话意义之间的关系进行理论化。麦坎内尔的理论发现轨迹，即游客逐渐寻找“无标记”和“真实”的东西，似乎通过对约克供应方旅游景点的观察得到了验证。受“商业隐喻”启发并涉及收购新的“标志性”景点的传统产品延伸策略可以说会加速商品化进程，同时削弱游客自行创造体验的潜力。因此，事实证明，这样的战略在确保成熟、成功的目的地旅游业的长期健康发展方面可能并不完整。
Two perspectives on place-consumption are considered: a ‘business metaphor’ by which the city is viewed as a consumable ‘product’; and a cultural perspective whereby a relationship between tourist site and mythical meaning is theorised. MacCannell's theorised trajectory of discovery, by which tourists progressively seek out the ‘unmarked’ and ‘authentic’, appears to be validated by observation of supplyside visitor attractions in York. A conventional product extension strategy inspired by the ‘business metaphor’ and involving the acquisition of a new ‘icon’ attraction would arguably accelerate the process of commodification, simultaneously eroding the potential for self-authored experience on the part of the tourist. Such a strategy may thus prove incomplete in its capacity to secure the long-term health of tourism in a mature, successful destination.
