DICHOS/QUOTES

"Worldwide, we are seeing the transformation of cultures into ‘local color’, making peoples’ cultures extensions of the modern mass media. Culture is being packaged, priced, and sold like building lots, rights-of-way, fast-food, and room service, as the tourist industry promises that the world is his/hers to use. All the ‘natural resources’, including cultural traditions, have their price, and if you have the money in hand, it is your right to see whatever you wish."
Davydd J. Greenwood, “Culture By the Pound”, from Valene L. Smith’s Hosts and Guests: The Anthropology of Tourism (1977)
