“I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.”
Brigitte Bardot
“Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.”
Paul Theroux
“Like tourists huffing and puffing to reach the peak we forget the view on the way up”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“If you can please people's hearts in Africa and Japan, then you're part of the world's family... not a tourist.”
Carlos Santana
“The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing."”
Daniel J. Boorstin
“The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.”
“The world does not need tourists who ride by in a bus clucking their tongues. The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are.”
Robert Fulghum
