Description
"A genuinely helpful framework for thinking about our own voyages" (The Atlantic), The New Tourist explores how tourism has shaped the world, for better and for worse, and offers essential reading for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the implications of their wanderlust. Through deep and insightful dispatches from tourist spots around the globe--from Hawaii to Saudi Arabia, Amsterdam to Angkor Wat--The New Tourist shines a light 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? "Engaging and thoughtful" (Kirkus Reviews) and filled with page-turning revelations, The New Tourist spotlights painful truths but also delivers a message of hope: that the right kind of tourism--and the right kind of tourist--can be a powerful force for good.
