Want to see how travel is really just the continuation of colonialism? Jamaica! Where fewer than 1% of the beaches are accessible to - Jamaicans. Tourism ‘owns’ the beaches. We do this everywhere, first take possession of places, strip-mine them of resources, then use them as tourist destinations. Locals are supposed to feel privileged to act as servants in tourist resorts. We say that’s ‘great for their economy’.
