A lot of people are uncomfortable with the word 'tourist,' at least when it's aimed in their direction. It irks me that some people insist on a distinction between 'travelers' and 'tourists,' where the former are explorer types [...] while the latter are philistines who are content with cliched, mass-market experiences.
A 'new tourist,' argues McClanahan, engages with the people who live in the place they're visiting, and ideally does activities on locals' terms, not those of corporate chains or extractive behemoths.
