This book examines the global scope of tourism-related grabbing of
land and other natural resources. Tourism is often presented as a
peaceful and benevolent sector that brings people from different
cultural backgrounds together and contributes to employment,
poverty alleviation, and global sustainable development. This book
sheds light on the lesser known and much darker side of tourism as
it unfolds in the Global South. While there is no doubt that
tourism has been an engine of economic growth for many so-called
developing countries, this has often come at the cost of widespread
dispossession and displacement of Indigenous and non-indigenous
communities. In many countries of the Global South, tourism
development is increasingly prioritised by governments, businesses,
international financial institutions and donors over the legitimate
land and resource rights of local people. This book examines the
actors, drivers, mechanisms, discourses and impacts of
tourism-related land grabbing and displacement, drawing on more
than thirty case studies from Latin America and the Caribbean,
sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East and
the Southwest Pacific. The book provides solid grounds for an
informed debate on how different actors are responsible for the
adverse impacts of tourism on land rights infringements, what forms
of resistance have been deployed against tourism-related land grabs
and displacement, and how those who have violated local land and
resource rights can be held accountable. Tourism, Land Grabs and
Displacement will be essential reading for students and scholars of
land and resource grabbing, tourism studies, development studies
and sustainable development more broadly, as well as policymakers
and practitioners working in those fields.
