OVERBOOKED The Exploding Business of Travel and Tourism

Narrator Alma Cuervo proves a congenial yet strong voice for this extensive look at the problems and issues that underlie tourism in the world today. Becker explores this billion-person industry while asking some challenging questions and delivering some strong critiques. She she highlights a few countries on every continent and considers the challenges and limitations that are presently looming in economies that heavily engage with tourism. Cuervo's strong projection pulls in listeners and captures the tone of concern embedded in Becker's prose. Where relevant, she adds emotional emphasis, as in interviewee's responses, and then easily shifts back to narrative. L.E. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2013]
