History shows that travellers sought to experience the unfamiliar
and exotic cultures and traditions of Indigenous peoples, with
early examples of Indigenous tourism in the United States, Canada,
Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand and countries throughout Asia
and Latin America. Similarly, contemporary travellers demonstrate a
desire to seek out opportunities to experience Indigenous peoples
and their cultures. Thus, we are witnessing worldwide growth in the
awareness of, and interest in, Indigenous cultures, traditions,
histories and knowledges. Engagement in the tourism sector is
regularly advocated for Indigenous peoples because of the
socio-economic opportunities it provides; however, there are a
range of cultural benefits including the maintenance, rejuvenation
and/or preservation of Indigenous cultures, knowledges and
traditions for Indigenous peoples who choose tourism as a vehicle
to showcase their cultures. Consequently, tourism is regularly
acknowledged as a means for facilitating the sustainability of
tangible and intangible Indigenous cultural heritage including
languages, stories, art, dance, rituals and customs. Importantly,
however, the history of Indigenous peoples' engagement in tourism
has provided a range of examples of the threats to Indigenous
culture that can accrue as a result of tourism (i.e., cultural
degradation, commercialisation and commodification, authenticity
and identity, among others). This book presents an exploration of
the intersection between tourism and Indigenous culture. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of Heritage Tourism.
