Synopsis

This book provides a holistic, multi-stakeholder picture of the first twenty years of tourism development in a remote region of Eastern Indonesia. It is a rich description of how tourism is intertwined with life in a non-western, marginal community. Based on anthropological methods, this ethnography is about tourism and socio-cultural change, tourists, conflict, globalisation, poverty and powerlessness.
