520 $aThis is an investigative travelogue, written as the author journeys around the world, from theme park to golf course, from sunlounger to ecolodge. At each destination we hear from the key protagonists, the holidaymaker, waiter, hotelier, souvenir-seller, tour guide, environmentalist and local politician. His discoveries of what lies behind the glossy veneer of a resort hotel makes for sober reading.
