Tourism and Indigenous Peoples is a unique text examining the role
of indigenous societies in tourism and how they interact within the
tourism nexus. Unlike other publications, this text focuses on the
active role that indigenous peoples take in the industry, and uses
international case studies and experiences to provide a global
context to illustrate best practice and aid comparison.
First published over ten years ago the editors, Butler and Hinch,
have thoroughly revised and updated the text to bring together a
new collection of contributions and case studies from recognised
international authors and those with first hand experiences in this
area. Divided into five main sections, the text looks at this topic
under the following headings:
* Involvement: Uses case studies to discuss and compare such as
'campfire' programmes in east Africa, and the employment of
indigenous peoples as guides, amongst other cases,
* Turbulence: Host guest relationships, conflicts on communities
and contrasting strategies and results of tourism in indigenous
villages in South Africa
* Issues: Discusses issues such as authenticity, religious beliefs
and managing indigenous tourism in a fragile environment
* Progress: Looks at tourism education, tourism and cultural
survival and examples of the policy and practice of indigenous
tourism.
* Conclusions: Five contributions from indigenous people on North
America, Australasia and Europe to discuss implications and
experiences.
Each section uses international case studies from, for example,
Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Namibia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and
South America.
* Explores why and how indigenous people enter the global
tourismnexus, concentrating on their involvement IN tourism rather
than the impacts of tourism ON their societies.
* Contains contributions and cases from around the world looking at
different scales of involvement and success stories
* Studies the complexity of the relationships between indigenous
peoples and tourism with contributions from indigenous people in
North America, Australasia and Europe relating their first hand
experiences
