In Search of Authenticity: What's the Difference Between a Traveller (sic) and a Tourist? In an age of unprecedented foreign travel, tourists get quite a bad rap, not least from tourists themselves. BY OLIVER FARRY PUBLISHED 4 AUGUST, 2015 - 11:21 New Statesman http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2015/08/search-authenticity- whats-difference-between-traveller-and-tourist ..

But few countries can afford to turn their noses up at tourists, least of all those hit particularly hard by recession in recent years, such as Ireland, Greece, Spain and Portugal. .. Lisbon has witnessed an explosion of tourism in the past five or six years and parts of the city centre are as clogged with tourists as Venice or Barcelona; some spaces are almost entirely the domain of transient foreigners and though Lisboetes remain friendly and welcoming to tourists, grumbling has begun at municipal level at the invasiveness of the phenomenon in residential areas and the City Hall is expected to intervene to keep tourism sustainable. .. Further north in Porto, one of the citys most celebrated bookshops has had to change its entry policies to deal with the waves of tourists. Livrar Lellos regular appearance on listicles of the most beautiful bookshops in the world has drawn huge numbers of visitors but most are more interested in Instagramming the gothic wooden interior than in the books (most of which are in Portuguese). These pictorial homages dont put bread on the table so the bookshop last week started charging non-paying customers a small fee to enter. .. ..
