Unfortunately, many tourists from "civilized" societies behave like ignorant fools when they visit what they look upon as less developed parts of the world. They don't care to learn the language, don't attempt to have a civilized conversation with the locals, are uninformed about local traditions and take photos of people and homes that they would never dream about taking within their own societies. Mostly, they only spend a couple of hours, sometimes just a few minutes, at each "exotic" place, throwing a few coins to the natives when leaving.
Modern technology and transportation methods have made it possible for anybody with money to visit more or less any hidden spot on earth. Sadly, most people have little respect for other cultures than their own.
