Here’s another good example. The Caribbean has been a prized holiday destination for generations. People will say tourism is great for the Caribbean economy, to make themselves feel good about going there. The only reason the Caribbean needs tourist dollars is that it was systematically plundered by the British, who turned the inhabitants into slaves. Many of the most popular tourist destinations in the world are exactly the same, ex-colonial territories. The current inhabitants are meant to feel grateful to serve us as tourists, as we ‘experience’ their land.
