Book ID/图书代码: 13160008B21203
English Summary/英文概要: A brilliant critique of the travel industry - compelling and essential reading for all holiday-makers at home and abroad.
No industry in the world employs more people or is the world’s largest foreign currency earner than tourism. Long billed as the cleanest industry for developing countries to invest in, tourism seems to offer everyone involved a positive experience. This is the official line, anyway. In truth, the reality is much more complex. For "The Final Call" Hickman travels the world on a range of holidays and finds that behind the sunny facade of pools, smiling locals, sightseeing trips and exquisite cuisine is an ugly reality and it is spreading unchecked to all corners of the globe. But none of us are going to stop holidaying and at the heart of this is a heartfelt attempt to discover the best way to holiday wherever you are.

旅游业雇佣最多的人力,带来最多的外汇收入。它一直被誉为适宜发展中国家投资的最环保产业,带给每个人的是愉悦和积极。但是,这只是官方说法。事实是更为复杂的。为了完成《终极调查》这本书,希克曼遍游世界。他发现现实并非是阳光洋溢的泳池、笑容满面的当地居民和精心烹制的美食,而是背后的丑陋。现在这个丑陋的现实正蔓延到世界的各个角落。但没有人预备停止旅行,这当中的真正用意在于寻找最佳的旅游途径。
