The poem 'I Am Tourist' deals with the meaning and significance of tourism; particularly focussing on the modern take on what is a tourist. Adrian Mitchell presents the point of a ignorant tourist, and shows their lack of connection to the foreign land through the use of various literacy techniques such as imagery. The poem's purpose is to let us witness the typical tourists's shallow mindset, lack of respect to the culture and misplacing of priorities. It is written in first person narrative which makes us, the readers feel as though it is a personal experience; which to some extent it is. We can all relate as we have either been the tourist ourself or have observed characters like the poem described who have ventured abroad.
