About the Author

Babu George is a professor of management and a leading critical voice in tourism studies. With an academic career spanning research, teaching, and policy engagement, he has consistently questioned the taken-for-granted assumptions of tourism development, sustainability, and destination management. Known for integrating ethical reasoning, systems thinking, and post-growth perspectives into tourism discourse, Dr. George's work challenges scholars and practitioners to confront uncomfortable truths about the industry's social and ecological costs. His writing reflects a deep commitment to intellectual honesty, human dignity, and the responsible reimagining of tourism's role in society.

Dedicated to those who stayed home so that others might visit, and for those who had no choice but to serve.

This is not a book about improving tourism. It is a book about outgrowing it.
