Excess Baggage - 21/11/2009

John McCarthy explores the relationship between human rights and travel - what should the responsible tourist be aware of whilst journeying? Has the water supply in the hotel deprived a local community of theirs? Is your guide adequately equipped when he leads you up a mountain? Are you intruding by taking photographs of local people going about their business? John is joined by lawyer Baroness Kennedy and Tourism Concern's Tricia Barnett to discuss whether the freedom of the traveller infringes the liberties of the host. After the White House, Elvis Presley's mansion, Graceland, is America's most visited house. But there is lot more to Memphis musical pilgrimages than replicas of Heartbreak Hotel. John talks to two music writers, Patrick Humphries and Garth Cartwright, about the attraction of Mississippi and Tennessee for those interested in whether juke joints still exist, whether 'country' means 'commercial' and the survival of the soulful sounds of Stax. John follows the heritage trail of Highway 61.
