3: Over Rich, Over Sexed.... and Over Here
Pacific tourism is booming but often tourists destroy the very thing they come to see. In Papua New Guinea, a warlike people recently converted from cannibalism to Christianity, transform their pagan art into tourist souvenirs.
Hawaii has four million tourists a year, but the industry is run by Japanese and Americans, and the last people to benefit are the native Hawaiians. Dismay has turned to anger, as they watch their culture being exploited by others.
In Bali however, it's a different story. The Hindu religion has kept the missionaries at a distance, and the traditional culture is able to accommodate half a million tourists a year and even benefit from their presence.
