Show Notes
Over the last few decades, tourists have been going out of their way to see places before they disappear, from Antartica to Australia. This has been deemed "Last-chance tourism". We're diving into the phenomenon of last-chance tourism; how it started, why it's so appealing, and the ethical questions it raises.
Paige McClanahan joins us on the show to discuss.
Paige McClanahan is an American journalist based in France. Her reporting has covered multilateral trade negotiations, humanitarian crises, economic development, and the tourism industry.
