Abstract

Het toerisme naar de derde wereld neemt heel snel toe. Tegelijk groeit ook de discussie hierover. Voor vele arme landen is het toerisme één van de weinige - en dus welgekomen - bronnen van inkomsten en werkgelegenheid. Ze zouden er ook inderdaad beter van worden. Maar de werkelijkheid is niet altijd en overal zo. Economische, sociale, culturele en ecologische aspecten botsen met elkaar. Vaak heeft uiteindelijk de westerse toerisme-industrie er veel meer baat bij dan het derd-wereldland. (Bron: covertekst)
