The modern-day world faces a hostile climate, depleted resources
and the destruction of habitats. The dream that growth will lead to
a materialistic utopia is left unfulfilled by a lack of ecological
and economic capacity. The only choice is to find alternatives to
increased growth, transform the structures and institutions
currently shaping the world, change lifestyles and articulate a
more credible vision for the future and lasting prosperity. As a
reaction to the problems accrued by capitalism, new development
approaches such as the concept of degrowth have evolved. Degrowth
in Tourism explores newly-emerging development and philosophical
approachesthat provide more equity for host communities and offer a
low-carbon future by looking at alternatives to the classic models
of development and applying the concept of degrowth in a tourism
context. Proposing that we need to shift tourism research from
models which prioritize commodified tourism experiences to those
that offer alternative decommodified ones, this book: - Provides
topical analysis and illustrates the key themes of degrowth; -
Discusses the relationship between tourism and degrowth from both a
historic perspective and through contemporary patterns of activity;
- Includes international examples and case studies to translate
theory into practical new approaches. A comprehensive review of the
subject, this book will be of great interest to researchers and
practitioners within tourism, development, environment and
economics, as well as those specifically studying degrowth.
