Trekking on Tradition
- 1992 ----- color ----- 43 min ----- vhs
- This outstanding production explores the effects of mountain tourism (known as trekking) on a small village in rural Nepal. It examines the views of both the trekkers (Europeans and Americans) and the Nepalese as it weaves a complex patchwork of conflicting dreams, desires, aspirations and frustrations. It illuminates, often humorously, the controversies and ironic nature of cross-cultural encounters engendered by widespread tourism in developing countries. It also powerfully illustrates the dramatic impact of tourism on the traditional practices, culture, and environment of the region. Produced by Jennifer Rodes.
- Topics: (Anthropology: Cultural, Far Eastern Studies, Geography, International Business, South Asian Studies)
