"A comprehensive, often alarming, and sometimes puzzling
examination of an oft-invisible powerhouse. . . . Overbooked
succeeds in demonstrating the growing heft of the travel industry
and the numerous problems that are associated with it."-- "The
Weekly Standard"
"Ms. Becker is a skilled, critical writer delivering illuminating
information, telling engaging stories, and advancing her own
personal observations. Overbooked appeals to a wide audience: those
who make the billion trips annually; those who have a stake in the
places impacted, sometimes for better, but all too often for worse,
by those travelers' visits; and all who have a stake in the global
economy."-- "New York Journal of Books"
