The intersection of community development, tourism and planning is
a fascinating one. Tourism has long been used as a development
strategy, in both developed and developing countries, from the
national to local levels. These approaches have typically focused
on economic dimensions with decisions about tourism investments,
policies and venues driven by these economic considerations. More
recently, the conversation has shifted to include other aspects -
social and environmental - to better reflect sustainable
development concepts. Perhaps most importantly is the richer focus
on the inclusion of stakeholders. An inclusionary, participatory
approach is an essential ingredient of community development and
this brings both fields even closer together. It reflects an
approach aimed at building on strengths in communities, and
fostering social capacity and capital. In this book, the dimensions
of the role tourism plays in community development are explored. A
panoply of perspectives are presented, tackling such questions as,
can tourism heal? How can tourism development serve as a catalyst
to overcome social injustices and cultural divides? This book was
originally published as a special issue of Community Development.
