I particularly liked the overview of tourism development in history and the inclusion of nonwestern perspectives when it comes to domestic tourism, though i couldnt help but feel like it was still too sympathetic and not critical enough of the current systemic exploitation of "tourism as a means of economic development" by western powers :/

It was still a really great entry point into the anthropology of tourism as it referenced multiple authors that ive been meaning to read but struggled to get through on my own. It also pointed me in a few more directions of domestic tourism in east asia that ive been trying to find, so thats just a personal plus for my own research :)
