TV Nine's Getaway Star Catriona Rowntree and the Moral Dilemmas of Tourism

16 May, 07 tv-fan's blog | Email this page | | 1028 reads

Australian Getaway Star Catriona Rowntree is probably Australia's most famous traveller. Well, that depends who you ask... But certainly, she is Australia's most televised traveller and one who has always had a chance to speak her mind about the places she's gone!

The Getaway reporter is currently preparing for a trip to China, but is scheduled to highlight the gem in the Chinese tourist industry's crown, a train line to Tibet. The railway has been described by the Dalai Lama as "the second invasion of Tibet." So this Aussie reporter approaches the journey with some angst, the angst that is measured by all of us who love to travel: does the place itself outweigh the cost to the local population of our travel?

This TV traveller babe is one person who all Aussies should look up to when it comes to trotting around the globe. Want to read more about her? Click here!
