Inclusion in Tourism provides examples of discrimination and
marginalisation in tourism practices and avenues designed to recognise
and overcome personal or institutional biases, setting a road map for
researchers interested in establishing a more inclusive approach to
tourism and tourism research. Logically structured, multidisciplinary
in approach, and compiled by a well-known scholar and leader in
tourism theory, this volume comprises 13 specially commissioned
chapters that provide concrete global examples of overcoming
discrimination within tourism institutions, centred around examples of
best practice, courses of action, and positive outcomes. Chapters
outline, explain and challenge the existing view of tourism theory as
inclusionary, destroying the myth that tourism is an equal opportunity
endeavour, bringing a new level of scrutiny to "stand-alone" concepts
of "discrimination" and "marginalisation" as a long-existing
phenomenon in tourism studies. The book begins with an
institutionalised and global approach to discrimination, focusing on
immigration policy, academic teaching, research, grant policies, and
destination image in relation to minorities; and xenophobia. The text
then moves to the individual level, discussing aspects of
institutionalised discrimination based on individual characteristics,
such as sexual orientation, obesity, disability, and gender.
International in scope, this book will be of pivotal interest to
graduate students, researchers, and practitioners interested in
diversity and inclusion.
