Critical Inclusive Tourism: Empowering Marginalized Groups
معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
While previous studies in tourism and social sciences have presented diverse conceptualizations and explanations of marginalization, the chapters in this book meticulously scrutinize their contextualization in constructing structural marginalization within the tourism industry. By doing so the book offers a comprehensive understanding of how marginalisation manifests in the complex dynamics within the tourism sector. The chapters unravel the multifaceted dimensions of marginalization, providing a nuanced and informed perspective that contributes significantly to the ongoing discourse on inclusivity and equity within tourism knowledge.
This book will be useful to tourism practitioners, academics, students, researchers and policymakers. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Tourism Recreation Research.
