Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As an editor of audiobooks, I was impressed by McClanahan's ability to distill complex ideas into clear, actionable insights. Her passion for the subject shines through, making The New Tourist an engaging and thought-provoking listen. If I have any criticism, it's that the audiobook sometimes feels a tad too focused on the negative consequences of tourism, overlooking the positive impact it can have on local communities. Additionally, some of the production values could be tightened up, particularly in terms of sound design and music choice, which occasionally feels jarring. Despite these minor quibbles, I highly recommend The New Tourist to anyone interested in travel, culture, or sociology. Paige McClanahan's narration is top-notch, and her dedication to the subject matter is evident throughout the audiobook. With its thought-provoking insights and accessible narrative style, this audiobook is sure to leave listeners with a newfound appreciation for the complex dynamics at play in the tourism industry.
