영문 초록

Individual tourism, formerly often mislabelled alternative tourism, has been a well-guided way of travelling to Southeast Asia for three decades – thanks to Lonely Planet travel literature, based on the legendary ‘yellow bible’ of the 1970s. Whereas the economic and socio-cultural consequences of low-budget backpacking in Southeast Asia were considered negative for a long time, the Asian crisis of the late 1990s has made many governments rethink their dependence on large-scale package tourism. The concept of backpacking as a form of sustainable development is discussed, which offers opportunities for grass-roots development for a wide range of people.
