The Last Tourist (2021)

On the precipice of a profound shift, the world of travel stands at a critical juncture. As The Last Tourist (2021) portrays, the innocent intentions of globe-trotters are paradoxically demolishing the very wonders they journey to admire. From the sun-kissed beaches of the Caribbean to the secluded hamlets nestled in the heart of Kenya, the silent voices of those living in tourism's shadow paint a stark portrait of the industry's real conditions and consequences. Filmed across more than 15 countries, this documentary plunges into the heart of the booming tourism industry, an industry whose impact, fuelled by overtourism, reverberates across the environment, wildlife, and the world's most susceptible communities. The Last Tourist unveils the unseen facets of this global behemoth through the narratives of those who exist in its periphery, offering a comprehensive exploration of the industry's far-reaching effects. In a world where every action incites a reaction, the role of the modern tourist is brought into the spotlight and placed on trial. As the film suggests, the responsibility to sustain the balance between exploration and preservation lies not just with the industry itself but with the individuals who partake in its offerings. The Last Tourist challenges its audience to reevaluate their role as travellers in an increasingly interconnected world, raising poignant questions about our collective responsibility towards the planet's preservation.
