How we perceive mass tourism is a reflection of how we perceive ourselves

“Sophisticated travelers, and not a few scholars of tourism research, tend to cringe at the idea of mass tourism, associating it with superficial encounters and hardships foisted upon local communities. …Still, many of our attitudes related to mass tourism have more to do with our own expectations and prejudices than they do with impacts upon local populations.”
–Erve Chambers, “Can the Anthropology of Tourism Make us Better Travelers?”, NAPA Bulletin 23 (2005)
