"Today, I'd like to present excerpts from a
thought-provoking book by John Hutnyk, entitled 'The
Rumour of Calcutta: tourism, charity and the poverty
of representation'. The book was already published in
1996, and some of you may remember that I mailed out a
summary at the time when tourism NGOs began to discuss
as to how to apply the 'fair trade' concept in
tourism. I'm now sharing this piece with you again
because I believe it is an excellent and highly
opportune contribution to the current debate on
tourism and poverty alleviation.
Yours truly,
Anita Pleumarom
