Bernard DUTERME, a sociologist and journalist, is director of the Centre tricontinental – CETRI (Louvain-la-Neuve). He is the author or coordinator of several books on Latin America and North-South development issues, including on international tourism: Expansion du tourisme: gagnants et perdants (2006); La domination touristique (2018); and La touristification du monde (upcoming).
International tourism, often presented as a "driver of prosperity and humanity," is based on three major illusions: its democratization, exoticism as an attraction, and the prosperity brought to visited countries. However, the current distribution of costs and benefits in this industry increases social and environmental disparities. Without political regulation of flows and impacts, "fair" or "sustainable" tourism is not possible.
