There are no more travelers anymore, historian Daniel Boorstein has argued, only tourists. Mass tourism, the world's fastest-growing industry and its largest employer, is one of the great definers of the 20th century. It could also be one of the greatest dangers our cultural and historical monuments face today. "Tourist" explores the profound cultural, ecological, and economic impact that mass international tourism is having on almost every country on earth. It argues that tourism could be responsible instead of destructive and describes the people and institutions working toward that end.
"Courtly prose and amiable digressions distinguish this study of what some may not consider a serious topic: tourism....if you want to look at this mass phenomenon seriously, here is the place to start."
Kirkus, 10/15/1996
