More about the book
The book explores the complexities of modern tourism, highlighting the motivations of travelers—such as recreation, curiosity, and status—against the backdrop of the industry's impact on local communities and the environment. It delves into the negative effects of tourism, including increased traffic, rising living costs for residents, and environmental degradation caused by infrastructure development. By examining these contradictions, the author advocates for more conscious and responsible tourism practices that consider the well-being of both people and nature.
