Yun Ko-eun’s “The Disaster Tourist” is an eco-thriller that explores the intersection of tourism and disaster through a feminist lens. The protagonist, Yona, is an employee at Jungle, a company that curates travel experiences to disaster zones.

After a troubling encounter with a colleague, Yona is dispatched on a paid “holiday” to the desert island of Mui to evaluate its potential as a tourist destination. The island’s main draw is a less-than-impressive sinkhole. However, Yona stumbles upon a scheme to stage a disaster to increase the island’s appeal to tourists. Caught in a moral dilemma, Yona must choose between her allegiance to Jungle and the possibility of a fresh start, all while grappling with the imminent danger she and the island’s residents face.
