By Leo Hickman Clubbing in Ibiza, Cruising in the Carribean, Luxuriating in Dubai, Skiiing in the Alps, Backpacking in Thailand. We're all keen tourists. And tourism is the biggest service industry on the planet. Yet while it is built on the sale of fantasies, the unsettling truth is that behind the sunny faade of swimming pools, smiling locals, stunning sights and exquisite cuisine, there is all too often an ugly, damaging reality and it is spreading unchecked to all corners of the globe. This is an investigative travelogue, written as Hickman journeys around the world, from theme park to golf course, from sunlounger to ecolodge. At each destination wwe hear from the key protagonists: the holidaymaker, waiter, hotelier, souvenir-seller, prostitute, environmentalist, tour guide, chambermaid and local politician. Alll of them want us to ask ourselves some hard questions: Who really pays for our trip anyway? And is it possible to have a 'good' holiday? Here is the story of what they don't tell you in the glossy brochures. Excellent. One of the clearest and most sobering analyses I've ever seen of the environmental, social, and economic damage done by tourism Phiip Pullman
