"Based on extensive interviews, Last Resorts looks at the mega-industry of tourism - the cruise ships, all-inclusives, package holidays, and yacht charters - and the way in which it affects local people throughout the Caribbean. A fully revised and updated edition of the original published in 1996, this new edition includes amplified sections on sex tourism, the cruise industry, the environment and ecotourism."--Jacket.
