A brilliantly evocative, surprising, and page-turning exploration of how tourism has shaped the world, for better and for worseessential reading for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the implications of their wanderlust.
Through deep and perceptive dispatches from tourist spots around the globefrom Hawaii to Saudi Arabia, Amsterdam to Angkor WatThe New Tourist lifts the veil on an industry that accounts for one in ten jobs worldwide and generates nearly ten percent of global GDP. How did a once-niche activity become the world's most important means of contact across cultures? When does tourism destroy the soul of a city, and when does it offer a place a new lease on life? Is ';last chance tourism' prompting a powerful change in perspective, or driving places we love further into the ground?
Filled with revelations about an industry that shapes how we view the world, The New Tourist spotlights painful truths but also delivers a message of hope: that the right kind of tourismand the right kind of touristcan be a powerful force for good.
