Tourism has long been considered a source of social inequality, and
as the industry continues to expand rapidly there is an increasing
need for a better understanding of its consequences. Providing a
synthesis of tourism as a source of injustice, Tourism and
Inequality addresses a wide range of interrelated forms of
inequality, investigating its association with class, nation,
ethnicity, race, gender, disability and age. Chapters examine
routes towards social justice and initiatives that aim to advance
poverty alleviation, fair trade, ethics and human rights. The
analysis of a wide variety of case studies from around the world
allows an exploration into the ways that tourism can be used
positively to alleviate the impacts of social injustice. Providing
a unique multidisciplinary perspective, the authors aim to lead the
way towards a more socially responsible future for tourism
practise.
Can tourism help a poor remote community to develop? How much does
tourism change a village? How can a village have the benefits
tourism offers without the problems it can cause? These are the
questions that lie at the core of this text. Using an
anthropologist's eye and a high degree of trust, this book uncovers
the story of tourism development in two small villages on a remote
island of Eastern Indonesia.The ethnography provides a rich
description of life in a non-western marginal community in a
contemporary global context and how they face the challenge of
balancing socio-economic integration and cultural distinction. It
uncovers the conflicts of tourism development between a poor
community, tourists, governments and brokers. This micro study has
ramifications beyond the locality. Many other villages in Indonesia
are experiencing similar issues. Many of the challenges are
relevant to peripheral communities across the globe. Themes in this
book will resonate with studies of tourism, tourists, development,
globalisation and cultural change from around the world.
