The Louvre.  The Tower of London. The Parthenon.  St. Peter’s Basilica.  An all- inclusive resort in Bermuda.  What do all of these places have in common?  Well, they are fine to visit, but they are predictable and have been given the designation of ‘tourist traps.’  Often times we are fearful of going off-road and exploring faraway destinations that might not be the headliners for travel agents (if they still exist) and guidebooks.  In this scenario, the tourist, or traveler, if you prefer, puts places on his or her bucket list, snaps a photo and moves on, considering much around them, including the locals, as a self-serving means to an end, while the new tourist is humbled by the experience of meeting new people and delving into a culture.  The new tourist might even try to learn the language or study the history before visiting the place.  In her book, “The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel,” Paige McClanahan may not say exactly where to go, though she does have some enticing stories about the world’s treasure spots, but focuses more on how to go–with an open mind, plenty of curiosity and a desire to be surprised as you step out of your comfort zone.   It’s a fun and enlightening conversation.
