520 | 1 | _a"What are millions of affluent vacationers looking for in their endless resorts, hotels, cosmetic surgery packages, spas, spiritual retreats, sex clubs, and "back to nature" trips? What does tourism, the world's single largest business, have to sell?" "Sick of producing the bromides of the professional travel writer, Lawrence Osborne decided to explore the psychological underpinnings of the tourist trade. He took a six-month journey down the so-called Asian Highway - a trail from The Middle to the Far East that, since the Victorian era, has seduced generations of tourists with its manufactured dreams of the exotic Orient. And like many a lost soul on this same route, he ended up in the harrowing forests of Papua, searching for a people who have never seen a tourist." "A travelogue into that heart of darkness known as the Western mind, The Naked Tourist is the most mordant and ambitious work to date from the author of The Accidental Connoisseur."--BOOK JACKET. | |
