Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This revolutionary text provokes us to a critical and necessarily urgent refocusing of tourism that foregrounds the local in all its forms (humans, more than humans, and the ecology). Replete with counter-narratives, alternative visions, and practical actions, this book is a triumph in its unapologetic advocacy for tourism futures that are more just and inclusive. * Donna Chambers, University of Sunderland, UK * This timely book provides a tangible way forward for transforming tourism at a time when both global and local pressures unequivocally signal that the pre-COVID-19 tourism model has failed. It points to a pathway where locals' love and care for place become the foundations of sustainable tourism. This book won't fail to inspire readers of all types - academia, policymakers, industry, non-profits and the wider public. * Susanne Becken, Griffith University, Australia * Rethinking and reforming tourism through a local, community-centered turn is long overdue, but how do we go about it in practice? In this innovative collection featuring scholars and practitioners from around the world, Higgins-Desbiolles and Bigby offer us a detailed agenda for transforming the way we conduct tourism. * Julian Agyeman, Tufts University, USA *
