In 'Tourism’s Horizon: Travel for the Millions', mass #tourism is a "dynamic cultural & social phenomenon that touches everyone", tourists have "humanity", and hosts have "agency". In an era of 'critical tourism studies', that's refreshing. #GoodTourism

#UKTourism is already one of highest taxed sectors in Europe, eg APD & VAT. In addition we are the only European nation not to refund VAT to int visitors. More taxes,(notably that are not reinvested into the sector),will hasten the forecasted loss of market share to competitors
