When people in First World countries think of tourists in the vast
expanses of the Third World today, they typically think of pampered
westerners, filling up the luxury hotels and imposing their
Orientalist gazes on the teeming masses. As David Gladstone shows
us in this fascinating and provocative book, such preconceptions
are wrong. Coupling incisive and colorful ethnographic accounts of
tourism in India and Mexico with sharp analysis, Gladstone
demonstrates the amazing complexity of this industry, which now
comprises close to ten percent of the world economy. As he also
shows, the vast majority of tourists in the Third World are
indigenous people with few resources-often making pilgrimages to
religious shrines.
From Pilgrimage to Package Tour is a fresh and entirely original
account that stands tourism studies on its head and proves that
this industry is far more complicated than it initially appears.
