Poverty tourism

The South African Emoya Luxury Hotel and Spa company has glamorized poverty tourism.

"Millions of people are living in informal settlements across South Africa. These settlements consist of thousands of houses also referred to as shacks, shanties or Makhukhus. A shanty usually consists of old corrugated iron sheets or any other waterproof material which is constructed in such a way to form a small "house" or shelter where they make a normal living. A paraffin lamp, candles, a battery operated radio, an outside toilet (also referred to as a long drop) and a drum where they make fire for cooking is normally part of this lifestyle. This is the only Shanty Town in the world equipped with under-floor heating and wireless internet access! The Shanty Town is ideal for team building, braais, fancy theme parties and an experience of a lifetime."
