The New Tourist

“Many travel books tell you where to go. This one tells you how to go.” —Eric Weiner, New York Times bestselling author of The Geography of Bliss For travel enthusiasts and digital nomads who snap up books like Joshua Foer's Atlas Obscura and care about preserving the places they visit, The New Tourist is a series of dispatches from heavily touristed areas around the world with pioneering solutions for how to better protect them from their own popularity.
