Description

Challenge common misconceptions about global travel with this provocative study by David Gladstone. Many people assume that tourism in the Third World consists only of pampered Westerners staying in luxury hotels. This book breaks those stereotypes by looking deeper into the reality of the industry. Through colorful ethnographic accounts from India and Mexico, Gladstone provides a sharp analysis of how tourism actually functions. He explores the complex nature of an industry that now makes up nearly ten percent of the global economy. This text is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the true dynamics between travelers and local populations. Whether you are a student of sociology or a curious reader interested in global economics, this Routledge publication offers a fresh perspective on the movement of people and the impact of the travel industry on developing nations. It moves beyond the Orientalist gaze to reveal the real stories behind the world's most popular destinations.
