Peer Review: The PowerPoint was very clear and understandable. I really enjoyed the different perspectives and the discussion on the various current events.

1. Can tourism ever be ethical in a world shaped by colonialism? (What would it look like)

Nothing in my opinion is ethical in a world shaped by colonialism. However could we strive to have more ethical tourism absolutely. It will take a lot of work and unlearning/learning. Ethical tourism would be like regenerative tourism. Tourism that gives back to local communities, education, and the environment. Tourism that is fair and not so clearly unfair.

2. What role should governments play in managing tourism development?

The governments role in tourism is public safety and well-being. The government should ensure a safe environment, constructive development and resource management. Though you may need money for these necessities the governments goal should solely just be to make money. The goveernemtn should focus on protecting local communities.

3. How does tourism impact places you live or have visited?

Yes I have lived on islands most of my life’s since I was a child Ive seen the impacts of tourism. Islands naturally attract many tourist becasue of their beauty. Unfortunately with the beauty of the islands comes nations wanting to rule and control them. With over tourism you see natives being pushed out of their land, and the land being over used and stripped of its resources. Locals feel the high prices, un affordability and limited resources.

4. Is tourism development always a good thing for “developing” countries?

Tourism development creates jobs but not opportunity. It generates opportunity for the big corporations and poverty for the locals. It’s an endless cycle of debt and despair. All over the world communities are facing harsh working conditions and unfair pay at times only for big corporations to profit.
