- Sarah 8/15/06: "I think your guests had a very narrow view of responsible travel. Many poor countries depend on money from tourism, so maybe sitting on the beach and buying a margarita benefits that country more than one's personal enlightenment. I want to like the idea of reality tours, but it seems like such a self-serving concept, and does reality really NEED to be so expensive?!"
