ISBN: 1-58367-117-X (pbk) 240 pages Last Resorts: The Cost of Tourism in the Caribbean by Polly Pattullo Last Resorts examines the real impact of tourism on the people and landscape of the Caribbean. It explores the structure of ownership of the industry and shows that the benefits it brings to the region do not live up to its claims. New developments in ecotourism, sex tourism, and the burgeoning cruise industry are not changing this pattern of short-term exploitation of the region’s resources. The book shows how Caribbean societies are corrupted by tourism and its culture turned into floorshow parody.
