Description
Tourism and Politics aims to disseminate ideas on the critical discourse of tourism and tourists as they relate to politics, through a
series of case studies from around the world written by specialists with an emphasis on linking theory to practice. That tourism is
a profoundly important economic sector for most countries and regions of the world is widely accepted, even if some of the detail remains
controversial. However, as tourism matures as a subject, the theories underpinning it necessarily need to be more sophisticated; tourism
cannot be simply ?read? as a business proposition with a series of impacts. Wider questions of politics, power and identity need to be
articulated, investigated and answered. While the making and consuming of tourism takes place within complex political milieux with multiple
stakeholders competing for benefit, the implications are not fully understood. Literature on tourism and politics is surprisingly limited.
This book will make a substantial contribution to the theoretical framework of tourism.
