Human Rights Issues in Tourism: Tourism, Environment and Development Series

Autor Atsuko Hashimoto, Elif Harkonen, Edward Nkyi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 dec 2020
This book uniquely focuses on human rights issues associated with tourism development and tourism businesses. Tourism is a manifestation of globalization and it intersects with human rights on so many levels. These implications are increasingly relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent global economic hardship.
Split into two main sections, the first establishes a background to human rights issues with reference to tourism, and the second provides a multi-disciplinary analysis of a range of selected human rights issues in tourism; these include displacement, security, privacy, discrimination, freedom of movement, the rights of Indigenous people, sex tourism and labour conditions. All chapters include case studies to showcase specific issues such as legal rulings or tourism policies/regulations. This book is written by a highly regarded team of authors specializing in tourism studies and human rights law.
This significant volume on the interaction between tourism development and the safeguarding of human rights will be of interest to a variety of disciplines, in the fields of tourism, political science and tourism/human rights.

Recenzii

‘This book provides the reader with an extensive and analytic overview of the complex issue of human rights in tourism. It does so through the authors’ unique combination of expert knowledge in tourism, political science and law, bringing together theoretical and empirical perspectives in a clear and rewarding way. The book should be mandatory reading for researchers and students interested in understanding the notion of sustainability in tourism and its many connections to human rights issues.’
Kristina Nilsson Lindström, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
‘This is a very timely and welcome volume, written by experts in the field. Not only does the book deliver authoritative chapters on the concepts and contemporary thinking on tourism and human rights but then goes on to provide a range of cutting-edge, sometimes challenging and unsettling, examples and cases. The book fills a much-needed gap in the tourism literature and will become a classic in the field.’
Professor Chris Cooper, Leeds Beckett University, UK

‘The important relationship between human rights and tourism is an under researched field in tourism studies. Most tourists and tourism scholars do not let human rights get in the way of their international travel. The book provides a welcome addition to this neglected field and will hopefully serve to promote this important area of study to academics, students and policy makers alike.’
Professor C. Michael Hall, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
