I love the story in here about a location in Iceland that was touristed almost to death, because Justin Bieber filmed a video there and millions then visited. Now closed to visitors for all but 5 weeks a year. Travel is not about the places, it’s about our social lives, we go to ‘see the sights’ because others go to see the sights. Once there we take selfies to feed back into that social imitation game, ‘here I am at X’. Or ‘here I am where Justin was, in his video’.
