Jamele (BookswithJams)'s Reviews > The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel

Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the free copy to review.

As someone who loves to travel I was very interested in this book and how tourists impact the places they go. For the most part I thought it was positive but I also know not everyone has an appreciation for the culture and land that they are visiting, and I am guilty of that at times myself. This book had such an impact on me, both good and bad and it has definitely inspired me to do better as a tourist when I go to places rather than be oblivious or complain about inconveniences. I highly recommend this important read for those that want to travel or are avid travelers both.
