THIS GUIDE
DEMYSTIFIES the often invisible impact of global
tourism, one of the biggest industries in the
world. From labour conditions to the role of elites
and the cultural impacts on both the visitor and
the visited, this book is an ethical starting point
for travelers who wish to promote healthy and
sustainable tourism. Accessible and
thought-provoking, this guide examines the "happy
smiling faces" syndrome and asks whether this is
just a reworking of old colonial
relationships.
