Where travel is concerned, one of the lines between right and wrong seems to have been blurrily drawn between tourism and voyeurism.

Today, most of us have become sedentary and, in that iteration, our intrigue can look like peeping-Tom syndrome.

Cultural tourism risks turning into a"human safari" because the tourists have little in the way of natural predators. Combine that with the fact that capitalism requires people to make money in order to subsist and it is easy to see how communities can sell their cultural capital and how, once they've bought it, tourists can feel entitled to treat it however they want.
