For many folks, the last couple of months of the year are defined by…shopping. What makes shopping fun for some people? Does it mix well with a vacation? What effect does it have on local residents? We answer these questions and more with my colleague Dr. Jeroen Klijs, economist and Professor of social impacts of tourism. We discussed my experiences shopping last year just before Christmas in my hometown, and my favorite vacation destination, Bratislava.
