Irresponsible tourism might be more apt terminology. The current, in-vogue ‘solutions’ to tourism are, I suggest, actually further fueling the rapid spread of tourism without offering any real, lasting answers. Perhaps all the energies that have been channelled into refining this new ‘good tourism’ might have been better spent actually addressing the real problem
of mass tourism - the massive volume and, globally, the growing absolute number of tourists. It seems to me that
none of the recent suggestions are actually coming to terms with, or indeed confronting, this fact.
