Synopsis of Paradisi infernali. Quello che le guide non vi raccontano

«Paradisi infernali. Quello che le guide non vi raccontano» is the essay by Flavio Bacchetta, published by Rapsodia in hardback (168 pages, in Italian).

The author contrasts the idyllic image of travel guides with the reality of destinations in Africa, the Caribbean and South America, where mass tourism and foreign investment have widened inequality, precariousness and crime. It includes colour photographs of countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba and Jamaica.

Published in 2018, the work falls within the areas of economics, the tourism industry and poverty.

For travellers who want to look beyond the postcard and for readers interested in social and economic criticism of tourism.
