Discussion Thoughts on 'The New Tourist' by Paige McClanahan?

I just read 'The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel' by Paige McClanahan and found it really thought-provoking. The insights about how tourism affects both travelers and destinations were eye-opening. I was particularly interested in the interview with Rick. Has anyone else read this book? What are your takeaways? Do you think it changes the way we should approach travel in the future?

I loved 'The New Tourist' too! McClanahan's take on mindful travel really resonates with the idea of being a responsible tourist. The interview with Rick was a highlight for me as well; it really made me reflect on how our actions impact local communities. Do you think these insights could inspire people to explore lesser-known destinations instead of the usual tourist traps? Let’s keep the conversation going!
