گردشگری و نابرابری – مشکلات و چشم انداز ها

This book seeks to make a contribution to the tourism and inequality debate, not only through its investigation of how and why tourism contributes to and reflects social inequality, but also through its exploration of the ways in which tourism can be a means to reduce social inequality or alleviate its impact. Across its 12 chapters, a wide range of inter-related forms of inequality and routes towards social justice are addressed. These include, but are not limited to, relations of class, nation, ethnicity, race, gender, disability and age, as they relate to social justice initiatives incorporating poverty alleviation, social inclusion, fair trade, ethics and human rights. This book is divided into three parts. The first examines social inequalities from the tourist consumers perspective; the second explores inequalities as experienced by the tourism producers; and the third part consists of a series of chapters that reviews initiatives to reduce or alleviate the impact of inequalities for both consumers and producers
