The book analyzes how tourism has become the Caribbean's major industry and examines its effects on the region's economy, employment, society and cultural identity. It also addresses who controls the business, what benefits it brings, the cruise industry and ecotourism, and asks whether tourists can preserve the environment or whether local culture becomes a spectacle.
