Don’t even want them looking at the camera for your picture anyway? The University of Surrey has recently done a study on the impact of tourist photography on developing destinations, using Cusco as a case study. You can read the full paper from our intranet, or if you want a quick summary of the findings, there’s a 1 page guide, which we’ve also uploaded to our website for clients to find, and will be referenced in the briefing dossier when next updated.
