Sažetak

Thatched hut resorts today play a significant role in creating a sense of place within a given location. Thatched hut resorts are particularly ubiquitous in the South Pacific, and in Tahiti almost all resorts are comprised, at least partially, of these structures. The resort is a symbol of authenticity, or authenticity constructed as place. The image of Tahiti as a primitive, yet tamed paradise is perpetuated today by those in the tourist industry as well as by many of the theorists that critique the myths. But myths are not all-encompassing, nor do they necessarily mask an authentic truth.
