What is Dharavi Slum Tourism?

In his book "Slumming It," Professor Fabian Franzel examines how Dharavi's residents profit from slum tourism, which generates an annual revenue of almost $665 million. Visitors get an up-close look at slum life, monitor routines, use amenities, and in some cases spend the night while documenting what they discover. They also spend a lot of money on expensive local pottery and crafts. Slum tourism includes nations in Africa such as Kenya, and Uganda in addition to Dharavi.

Traditional pottery and the textile industry are the main trades in Dharavi. Products from Dharavi are sold throughout the Middle East, Europe, and the US, resulting in an annual turnover that ranges from US$550 million to over US$650 million, peaking at over US$1 billion in 2014.
