Reviews for Trapped by Tourism: Sustainability Questions for a World Fueled by Travelers

Larry Krotz's book could easily have been titled The Thoughtful Traveler: one who boards trains, boats, or planes not only to get away but to reflect about the activity. To travel, Krotz tells us, is to be of two minds about travel, and that is not because being away sometimes denies us the comforts of home but because travel is a double-edged sword. Travel can be a positive and pleasurable experience, but it can also compromise locals and impact the global environment. There is no getting away from its nature. Krotz gently persuades us that we should not even try to avoid the tension but instead live with it and love it. --David Berlin, founding editor, ""Walrus"" magazine
