**Quotes**
What is the city but the people? - William Shakespeare

He aha te mea nui ki tēnei ao? Māku e ki atu. He tangata, he tangata, he tangata. (What is the most important thing in the world? I would reply that it is people, people, people.) - Maori proverb, cited online [|RadioNZ] ([|poster])

I received several polite ‘no thanks’ to the pitch, but the one which stood out was from a leading broadsheet which just said “We and our readers want to read about places, not people. If you could get an interview with Richard Branson, however, we might run it”. So, I put the idea to bed for a while, and in my own way, still try to incorporate the people I meet into my travel features. - Catherine Mack, [|The People I Meet]

A lot of tourists have a consumer attitude -- what can I get, instead of what can I learn. We have to put aside our own cultural biases and learn as much as possible from the people we visit. I find that if you stay long enough, learn the language, you get a sense of who locals are as people. - Clay Hubbs, publisher of [|Transitions Abroad], quoted in [|Rethinking Tourism]
