A brilliant x-ray of the work dynamics in the tourism sector.

Tourism has changed the face of many cities. It may have been an economic engine, but it has generated undesirable effects and is now clearly unsustainable. This book explores the contradiction between the luxury that high-end hotels sell to their clients and the social, economic and work reality of those who work in them.

The result, halfway between anthropological fieldwork, chronicle and essay, shows the most uncomfortable side of tourism and reflects on rest in a post-capitalist future.
