How do travelers change the remote places they visit, and how are they changed? From the Bolivian jungle to the party beaches of Thailand, and from the deserts of Timbuktu, Mali to the breathtaking beauty of Bhutan, GRINGO TRAILS traces stories over the course of thirty years to show the dramatic long-term impact of tourism on cultures, economies, and the environment. Directed by prominent anthropologist Pegi Vail, writer and lecturer on backpacking, travel, and the impact of tourism on local cultures, GRINGO TRAILS raises urgent questions about one of the most powerful globalizing forces of our time: tourism. Following stories along the well-worn western travelers' route-the 'gringo trail', through South America and beyond to Africa and Asia-the film reveals the complex relationships between colliding cultures: host countries hungry for financial security and the tourists who provide it in their quest for authentic experiences. 521 8 Not rated. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Tourism|zDeveloping countries. 650 0 Tourism|xEnvironmental aspects|zDeveloping countries. 650 0 Tourism|xEnvironmental aspects|zBhutan. 650 0 Tourism|xEnvironmental aspects|zMali|zTombouctou. 650 0 Tourism|xEnvironmental aspects|zThailand|zKo Phangan. 650 0 Tourism|xEnvironmental aspects|zBolivia. 650 0 Tourism|xSocial aspects|zDeveloping countries. 650 0 Tourism|xSocial aspects|zBhutan. 650 0 Tourism|xSocial aspects|zBolivia. 650 0 Tourism|xSocial aspects|zThailand|zKo Phangan. 650 0 Tourism|xSocial aspects|zMali|zTombouctou. 650 0 Sustainable tourism. 650 0 Tourists|zDeveloping countries. 700 1 Vail, Pegi,|efilm director,|efilm producer. 700 1 Estrella, Melvin,|edirector of photography,|efilm producer. 700 1 Iyer, Pico,|einterviewee (expression) 700 1 Mutić, Anja,|einterviewee (expression) 700 1 Ghinsberg, Yossi,|einterviewee (expression) 700 1 Potts, Rolf,|einterviewee (expression) 700 1 Schlatter, Heidi,|eeditor of moving image work. 700 1 Ortman, Laura,|ecomposer (expression) 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT11662143
