In a world that is subject to rapid change and cascading crises
this book considers the vital importance of local communities to
grounded, just and sustainable tourism futures. Embracing local
tourism as relational, the contributors examine how tourism can be
reoriented to better connect people, place and planet. This local
turn starts by centring local communities at the heart of tourism
and identifies ways to ensure local community rights and benefits
in tourism. Presenting concepts, case studies and practitioner
insights, the chapters explore what putting locals first might
mean; the constraints of markets and the promise of alternatives;
'tours' and 'turns' offering possibilities for circles, cycles and
connections; approaches for democratising tourism; and building an
ethos of relatedness through a relational imperative to face the
future together. The introduction and Chapter 1 are free to
download as open access publications. You can access them here:
