Book – How To Be A Better Tourist?
Vacations are about freedom. Our busy lives, full of obligations, mean that vacations may be the only time we can do what we want, where we want. So, how strange is it that we all spend this precious time doing the same things? That we travel en masse to the same cities, crowding around the same attractions, visiting the same picturesque neighborhoods that cannot handle the tourist pressure, creating numerous problems for the locals.
The book “How to Be a Better Tourist” tries to propose ways to make your vacations truly worthwhile. After all, what if all your vacations start to feel more and more alike? What if being a tourist suddenly isn’t as innocent as it seemed at first glance? Or what if your long list of must-see attractions actually causes more stress than relaxation? As the writer Elbert Hubbard poignantly said: No man needs a vacation so much as the one who has just had one.
Find out why tourists should also visit supermarkets, residential neighborhoods, and other local projects. Our typical vacation behavior—visiting the maximum number of highlights in the minimum amount of time—is rarely the most rewarding. “How to Be a Better Tourist” will help you make the most of your stay without harming the soul of your destination. Because, ultimately, thoughtfully planned vacations are a genuinely rewarding experience.
