Resumo: This theoretical paper discusses extraordinariness and peak experiences as a dominant discourse in tourist studies and points to ordinariness as an equally important, albeit under-researched, dimension of holidaying. Drawing in issues such as multiple dwellings, connected worlds, thick sociality, vacability and mundane holidays, the paper questions the viability and relevance of the dominant research discourse and asks whether it is perhaps time to introduce ordinariness as a complementary discourse that could be of benefit to future tourist studies.
