This working paper reviews gay holidays at a gay resort within the scope of neo-tribal theory. Furthermore, drawing upon the findings, this study unpacks the theoretical implications arising from the notion of (un)fixed boundaries between the ‘unreal’ – neo-tribal – and ‘real’ – post-tribal – worlds. Additionally, through this research it has been posited that the status of being outside the neo-tribal context, and yet with a reference to the inside, denotes the inherent membership and affinity with a particular neo-tribe, which ultimately transcends gay holidaymakers’ dichotomised worlds.
