More about the book

Focusing on the theme of tourism and its impact on global culture, this revised edition of a classic photobook features over 80 iconic images by Martin Parr. Through sharp satire, it critiques the homogenization of cultures and the consequences of consumerism, highlighting the paradox of tourists as both willing participants and victims of larger societal forces. With renewed relevance in today's context of climate crisis, the book reflects on the complexities of travel, freedom, and the insatiable desire for spectacle in Western society.
