Inhaltsangabe

This timely volume provides 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 multi-disciplinary perspectives and envisioning tourism in the context of human rights, social justice and ecological integrity. It further draws on a diverse range of geo-political contexts. Written by leading academics, this groundbreaking book will provide a sustained critique of the potential and capacities of tourism to foster global peace.
