This book examines the relationship between gender and
sustainability in tourism. Whilst an extensive body of work exists
in the areas of gender and sustainability, these two fields of
knowledge are seldom combined to examine tourism phenomena. When we
look at the evolution of tourism, we see that sustainability has
become an essential element in educational programmes, policy
making and strategic considerations for organisations and
destinations. Whilst the beginnings of tourism sustainability were
challenging, presently, its relevance is seldom questioned.
However, this situation is not the case with gender research.
Although gender theorising and research have existed for over a
century, and a rich legacy of knowledge exists on this topic,
meaningful and respectful engagement with this line of scholarship
is thus far peripheral in tourism studies. The aim of this book is
to reflect on and rethink the intersection of gender and tourism
sustainability through the lens of gender theory and feminist
epistemology to stay with the trouble and devise pathways for
sustainability gender knowledge. This book will be of great
interest to students, researchers, and academics in tourism, gender
and sustainability, as well as tourism management. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Sustainable Tourism.
The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Research is a compendium of some
of the most relevant issues affecting tourism development today.
The topics addressed in this book provide some new thinking for
those involved in tourism research. This book takes the reader from
the beginnings of tourism research to a discussion of emerging
forms of tourism and selected examples of tourism development. The
underlying theoretical dimensions are reviewed, analysed and
discussed from a number of perspectives. This book brings together
leading researchers, many of whom are members of the International
Academy for the Study of Tourism, to discuss tourism today and its
future. The works included in this volume are diverse, in terms of
geographical context, research methodology, root discipline, and
perspective. This book represents studies based in Europe, North
America, Oceania, and Asia. Research methodologies include both
quantitative and qualitative. Both macro and micro issues are
discussed from the economic, psychological, sociological, political
science, marketing, and other perspectives, which reflect the
interdisciplinary nature of tourism studies. This book is divided
into 6 sections. Section 1 considers the foundations for tourism
research. Section 2 discusses the implications for destination
management and section 3 discusses planning for tourism
development. Section 4 covers human capital for tourism
development. And finally, section 5 evaluates emerging forms of
tourism and then section 6 offers insights into tourism evolution.
It offers the reader a comprehensive synthesis of this field,
conveying the latest thinking and research. The text will provide
an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in tourism
research. This is essential reading for students, researchers &
academics of Tourism as well as those of related studies in

This book explores the changing landscape of tourism education in
the global context. It examines and seeks to provide answers to
three main questions: What knowledge and skills should tourism
students be exposed to? How should tourism education programs at
all levels be designed to create responsible leaders for the future
of tourism? What is the employability and range of careers students
can expect after graduation? The book will also delve into the
issues related to curriculum design and pedagogical innovation in
some detail including technological innovation. It will explore new
possibilities in alternative disciplinary approaches to the study
of tourism, theoretical concepts in tourism education,
cross-disciplinarity, multi-disciplinarity, inter-disciplinarity
and trans-disciplinarity. The challenges of institutional rigidity
in different national contexts will be explored as well as tourism
education in the developing world.
