| Summary |
'Venice, the Tourist Maze' charts the history of tourism in the most tourist-visited place on the planet, & at the same time offers a critique of the city-as-tourist-destination. The 'maze' is the paradox created when a city becomes a theme park entertaining visitors on an industrial scale. |
