Abstract: The theory of relativity was introduced to the world by Einstein and revolutionized cosmology and how people thought about space, time, mass and energy. The purpose of the present paper is to introduce Einstein’s theory as a mechanism for further tourism experiential examination. It is anticipated that the lenses used to provide different perspectives, would be of great use by the social academic community. While presenting as a paradigm the case of experiential tourism, this paper aims to trigger researchers’ inquisitiveness of how this avant-garde theory can be further incorporated within the field of social sciences.
