The tourists

What the journey does not see

By Nicola Palermo

Worldwide, 138 million children aged 5-17 are in child labour, 54 million of them in hazardous work: for the first time since 2000, after decades of decline, the figure has begun to rise again.
In 2024 international tourism flows reached 1.4 billion arrivals, back to pre-pandemic levels. The distribution of profits, however, remains concentrated: international platforms absorb up to 70% of revenues, host territories much less.
The Other, before being known, must first be looked at. And the way we look already decides what of him we can see.
