Interest in tourism with a social imperative is gaining momentum
not only amongst policy makers, but also researchers and the
academy. This thought-provoking and timely Handbook considers the
impact and challenges that social tourism has on people's lives.
Integrating case studies from around the world, chapters showcase
the latest research on social tourism and its potential role in
tackling the challenges posed by modern, mass tourism development
that can lead to sustainable alternatives and social equity in
participation. Contributors explore tourism activities that are
directed towards positive social and personal outcomes for people
who would not be able to access leisure or holiday travel without
such interventions and illustrate the social imperative of tourism
as a force for good. The Handbook of Social Tourism enables
academics and students from various disciplines, as well as
practitioners in the tourism sector, to obtain a more holistic
understanding of this phenomenon and offers an enlightening and
stimulating read. Contributors include: C. Billen, N. Carr, J.D.
