Dear Jazz, The research question is clear. As per our conversation, please start doing the analysis. "Imagined communities" is not very relevant concept for your study. You can talk about "representation", "power relations" and "tourist gaze" in your study. First of all, please refer to the topic about representation of place in Media Culture 1. Having said that, more theoretical articles are required for your introduction and your study.
