On-sight markers
"Intrestingly, just seeing 
a sight is not a touristic 
experience.
An authentic touristic 
experience involves not 
merely connecting a 
marker to a sight, but 
a participation in a 
collective ritual, in 
connecting one´s own 
marker to a sightalready 
marked by others."

Off-sight markers
"Touristic consciousness is 
motivated by its desire for
 authentic experience, 
and the tourist may belive 
that he is moving in this 
direction,but often it is 
very difficult to know for 
sure if the experience is in 
fact authentic."
