Is Tourism a Threat to Cultures ?
eBook [ePub]
Résumé
Publishing house : Five Minutes – Collection : REGARDS CROISÉS
This concise book tackles a pressing question : Is tourism a threat to cultures ? Drawing on up‑to‑date data and emblematic case studies, it shows how 1.4 billion tourists in 2024 and an industry worth nearly 10 % of global GDP have stretched many destinations to their limits. Venice, Kyoto and Barcelona illustrate overtourism’s side‑effects, from gentrification and rent hikes to hostility toward visitors. Indigenous peoples, including the Maasai and Batwa, have been displaced for safari and gorilla tourism. Yet community‑led projects demonstrate that sustainable, participatory tourism can fund restoration, revitalise languages and empower local communities. The book offers concrete solutions such as ecological taxes, cruise limits, community enterprises and shared governance. It invites every traveller to consider their impact and support models that respect cultures and the environment. A sharp guide for understanding the stakes and acting accordingly.
