New horizons in tourism strange experiences and stranger practices

This book is an attempt to capture the multifaceted
nature of tourism in all its wide-ranging experiences and activities, which are often amazing and bizarre. Much tourism revolves around novelty-seeking; and modern technology has made it talismanic for the tourist to seek out the white virginity of the polar regions, to fly into space, and to discover the exoticism of the ‘other’. Tourism today offers a strange world of experiences that needs to be studied thoroughly. This volume presents a few out-of-the-ordinary instances of peripheries overtaken by tourism and the experiences they offer. It is often difficult, and perhaps too early, to record what happens when tourism finds access to such unparalleled and unspoilt ecospheres of beauty. In any case, impact assessment was not within the purview of this project; none the less, the thought that tourism often defiles such supernal environments did re-echo in the mind, crying out for some convincing
answers.
