Peace through Tourism considers the possibilities for tourism to
contribute to efforts to unmask conflict and promote peace. This
edited volume considers the intersections between tourism, peace,
justice and sustainability through conceptual and empirical works
surveying practices, problems and challenges all around the globe.
It presents a complex and critical approach, arguing that peace
through tourism is dialogic and not as simple as describing a few
"good" niche segments of tourism. The pedagogies of peace
represented here work to analyse structural violence associated
with tourism-such as in the dominance of neoliberal market
imperatives over local or social economies; colonising, patriarchal
and anthropocentric practices in tourism; and tourism's complex
role in post-conflict settings. Analyses found here place scholars,
industry and communities in conversation about building shared
tourism futures where peace is understood as peace with justice and
differences are bridged through dialogues towards understanding. In
light of the many challenges in attaining sustainable development
in the 21st century, this volume is an important and timely
endeavour. Radical practices are explored that support more 'just'
tourism futures. With a new introduction, this book is an
insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Tourism and
Peace and Conflict Studies. The chapters in this book were
originally published in Journal of Sustainable Tourism.
Activating Critical Thinking to Advance the Sustainable Development
Goals in Tourism Systems focuses on the role of critical thinking
and inquiry in the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in tourism systems. The impetus for the
development of this book emerged from the declaration by the United
Nations (UN) General Assembly of 2017 as the International Year of
Sustainable Tourism for Development. This declaration purposely
positions tourism as a tool to advance the universal 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development and the 17 SDGs, thus mutually serving
as an opportunity and responsibility to appraise from a critical
lens what the SDGs signify and how they can be understood from
multiple perspectives. The chapters in the book foster the next
phase of sustainable tourism scholarship that actively considers
the interconnections of the UN’s SDGs to tourism theory and
praxis, and activates critical thinking to analyze and advance
sustainability in tourism systems. It articulates the need for the
academy to be more intrinsically involved in ongoing iterations of
multilateral accords and decrees, to ensure they embody more
critical and inclusive transitions toward sustainability, as
opposed to market-driven, neoliberal directives. The contributions
in this book encourage various worldviews challenging, shaping, and
more critically reflecting the realities of global communities as
related to, and impacted by, sustainable tourism development. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of Sustainable Tourism.
* Highly relevant and timely subject pushed to the forefront by the
covid-19 pandemic and the increasingly crucial climate crisis,
among other phenomenon, that have forced academics to rethink the
tourism industry and the way it currently functions * The first
book to explore the novel concept of socialising tourism, which
will only become more relevant * Highly regarded team of editors
and diverse range of contributors discussing engaging and original

Tourism in Palestine has been receiving an increasingly important
profile given its economic and religious importance and the
significant role it plays in Israeli-Palestinian relations,
representation of Palestinian statehood and identity, and wider
Middle Eastern politics. Nevertheless, Palestine, like much of the
Middle East as a whole, remains extremely underrepresented in
tourism literature. This title aims to fill this void by being the
first book dedicated to exploring the significance of tourism in
relationship to Palestine. The book examines the role of tourism in
Palestine at three main levels. First, it provides an overview of
destination management and marketing issues for the tourism
industry in Palestine and addresses not only the visitor markets
and the economic significance of tourism but also the realities of
the difficulties of destination management, marketing and promotion
of the Palestinian state. Second, it provides a series chapters and
case studies that interrogate not only the various forms of tourism
in Palestine but also its economic, social, environmental and
spiritual importance. This section also conveys a dimension to
tourism in Palestine that is not usually appreciated in the Western
mainstream media. The third section indicates the way in which
tourism in Palestine highlights broader questions and debates in
tourism studies and the way in which travel in the region is framed
in wider discourses. A significant dimension of the book is the
attention it gives to the different voices of stakeholders in
Palestinian tourism at varying levels of scale. This timely volume
will offer the reader significant insight into the challenges and
issues of tourism in this area now and in the future. It will
benefit those interested in tourism, Middle East studies, politics,
economics, development studies and geography.
Peace through tourism refers to a body of analysis which suggests
tourism may contribute to cross-cultural understanding, tolerance
and even peace between communities and nations. What has been
largely missing to date is a sustained critique of the potential
and capacities of tourism to foster global peace. This timely
volume fills this void, by providing a critical look at tourism in
order to ascertain its potential as a social force to promote human
rights, justice and peace. It presents an alternative
characterisation of the possibilities for peace through tourism:
embedding an understanding of the phenomenon in a deep grounding in
multi-disciplinary perspectives and envisioning tourism in the
context of human rights, social justice and ecological integrity.
Such an approach engages the ambivalence and dichotomy of views
held on peace tourism by relying on a pedagogy of peace. It
integrates a range of perspectives from scholars from many
disciplinary backgrounds, non-governmental organisations (NGOs),
tourism industry operators and community, all united by an interest
in critical approaches to understanding peace through tourism.
Additionally diverse geo-political contexts are represented in this
book from the USA, India, Japan, Israel, Palestine, Kenya, the
Koreas, Indonesia, East Timor and Indigenous Australia. Written by
leading academics, this groundbreaking book will provide students,
researchers and academics a sustained critique of the potential and
capacities of tourism to foster global peace.

In a world that is subject to rapid change and cascading crises
this book considers the vital importance of local communities to
grounded, just and sustainable tourism futures. Embracing local
tourism as relational, the contributors examine how tourism can be
reoriented to better connect people, place and planet. This local
turn starts by centring local communities at the heart of tourism
and identifies ways to ensure local community rights and benefits
in tourism. Presenting concepts, case studies and practitioner
insights, the chapters explore what putting locals first might
mean; the constraints of markets and the promise of alternatives;
'tours' and 'turns' offering possibilities for circles, cycles and
connections; approaches for democratising tourism; and building an
ethos of relatedness through a relational imperative to face the
future together. The introduction and Chapter 1 are free to
download as open access publications. You can access them here:

Tourism has the potential to contribute to world peace, and through
appropriate management, to address current realities such as
globalization, migration, conflicts, prejudices and poverty. By
providing a range of international perspectives and case studies,
this book discusses the interrelation between peace, conflict
resolution and tourism, the role of industry and the role of the
individual, and tourism as a catalyst for change and development.
Exploring the ideas that there is more to peace than the absence of
war and that there is more to tourism than economic interests, this
book is the first of its kind and an essential resource for
researchers, students and policymakers in tourism and related
subjects.
Any realistic understanding of contemporary tourism in the 21st
century must be grounded in a context of the dynamics of capitalist
globalisation. Sociologist Leslie Sklair's conceptualisation of
capitalist globalisation and its dynamics as expressed in his
"sociology of the global system" (2002) is employed to understand
the corporatised tourism phenomenon and explain the resistance that
it sparks. This discussion explains how a corporatised tourism
sector has been created by transnational tourism and travel
corporations, professionals in the travel and tourism sector,
transnational practices such as the liberalisation being imposed
through the General Agreement on Trade in Services negotiations and
the culture-ideology of consumerism that tourists have adopted.
These institutions, agents and processes have created a
self-reinforcing system built upon growth dynamics and ever higher
profit accumulation. This system reaps profits for industry and
exclusive holidays for privileged tourists, but generates social
and ecological costs which inspire vigorous challenge and
resistance. Perhaps the most significant manifestation of this
resistance is the coalition of the justice tourism movement which
is seeking to replace the system of corporatised tourism with a
more just, socially-concerned and sustainable tourism system. Such
events suggest that the long-term future of tourism will be subject
to macro-level tensions and challenges which forward-thinking
tourism management will need to heed cautiously.
