Justice and Tourism

This book examines the interplay between justice and tourism, addressing social issues and advocating for equitable practices within the industry.

In Justice and Tourism, the authors explore a wide range of critical issues at the intersection of social justice and tourism. Through case-based empirical research and theoretical approaches, they delve into topics such as gender discrimination, racism, and the rights of minorities and workers. The book emphasizes the importance of addressing indigenous, cultural, and heritage justice, as well as special topics like food sovereignty, highlighting the multifaceted nature of justice in the tourism sector.

The research presented in Justice and Tourism reflects the early stages of this field within tourism studies, where challenges arise from the complex scope and scale of tourism itself. Contributors from various disciplines—including sociology, geography, business studies, and anthropology—bring their diverse perspectives to the table, advocating for a collaborative approach that transcends traditional boundaries. This interdisciplinary effort aims to better understand how tourism interacts with local and global communities.

The chapters also engage with post-humanistic perspectives, urging readers to consider non-human entities and climate justice in the discussion of sustainable futures. The contributors stress the need for ongoing collaboration between researchers from the Global North and South, ensuring that a variety of voices and worldviews are represented. The insights gathered in this book not only contribute to academic discourse but also serve as a call to action for more equitable practices in tourism.
