“Ecotourism, adventure tourism, expedition tourism, call it what you will: Wilderness-oriented group tours remain an ethically dubious proposition. Built on and often glorifying a tradition of brutal, racialized colonial domination, adventure tourism restages the white-supremacist conquest of \u201cnature\u201d and \u201cnatives\u201d as a carefully controlled consumer encounter with \u201cpristine wilderness\u201d and \u201cindigenous cultures.\u201d And while it\u2019s nowhere near as violent as the heritage it celebrates, it cannot help but change the places and people it objectifies as \u201cexperiences,\u201d in ways both obvious and subtle.”<\/p>\n
