68 68. Jonathan Friedman has analyzed the role played by tourism in the processes of identity affirmation that accompany globalization. For example, in the case of the Ainu people in northern Japan, the rearrangement of living spaces to make them conform better to the expectations of tourists seeking exoticism and the increased production of “traditional” objects for sale to tourists constitute “conscious strategies of identity reconstruction,” strategies that accompany calls for autonomy stressing ethnic specificity: see Jonathan Friedman, Cultural Identities and Global Process (London: Sage, 1994), pp. 109–13.

73 73. As is very often the case in this type of quantitative study, the figures obtained are approximate and thus debatable, in the sense that they depend on the nomenclatures used and the methods adopted – for example, in this case, the decision to include “indirect activities” in the count.
