My final paper topic is going to be about the many effects of tourism on mountaineering and mountains themselves. The final paper is going to touch briefly on variety of ramifications that have been caused and from several viewpoints from the perspective of guides, support staff (i.e. Sherpas) and adventure tourists themselves.

This source is a primary source about guiding from Beedie who was a guide. He maintains a natural tone and offers a unique perspective into the benefits and downslides of being a guide and an insider of the adventure tourism industry.
