As far as I can understand from here “slum tourism” means “authentic life”, especially in Africa since in Brazil there more rich people than in Africa, me thinks. All in all, we should take care of what this “authentic” refers to. And when it brings us in very poor countries, we should be extra careful. Anyway, some might like it, don’t you think?
