Social tourism refers to facilitating access to tourism for low
income groups and/or the use of tourism as a regeneration and
economic stimulation strategy. Although social tourism has its
roots in the early 20th Century and is still a major component of
the tourism sector in a range of countries, the concept has
received relatively little research attention until recently. In
this volume, international specialists on social tourism present
perspectives on social tourism from different disciplines and
geographical contexts. The book highlights the multitude of
interpretations and implementations of social tourism that make the
concept so multi-faceted: examples reviewed in this book include
holiday vouchers in Hungary, charity initiatives in the UK, tourism
schemes for senior citizens in Spain and state provision in Brazil.
Seven themed chapters and two case studies explore the potential of
social tourism from a range of perspectives. Should tourism be a
right that is available to all? Is social tourism indispensable in
a sustainable tourism strategy? What are the different systems of
social tourism supply and demand in Europe, and why do the
implementations differ so much between countries? The book provides
a critical reflection on these and other questions, and is
therefore a key resource for social tourism researchers and
practitioners. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Current Issues in Tourism.
