Handbook of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Tourism

The Handbook of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Tourism arrives at a time when movements for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are increasingly under threat. This essential volume presents the work of scholars and practitioners who advance critical debates on tourism, revealing structural dynamics of injustice, including colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, and heteronormativity that underpin contemporary tourism practices. It also explores pathways towards more just and equitable futures.The contributors engage with questions of power, representation, and decolonization, through diverse case studies studying multiple sites around the world and addressing such topics as mobilities, workers’ rights, gender justice, and sustainability. Through these critical reflections, this Handbook reimagines tourism as a moral, political, and practical force building greater equity, diversity, inclusion, and social justice. Advancing beyond mere representation checklists, this collection provokes radical rethinking of tourism, offering scholars, practitioners, and policymakers essential insights into shaping fairer and more inclusive tourism futures.The Handbook of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Tourism is a valuable resource for scholars and students of tourism, business and management, geography, development studies, Indigenous studies, and those interested in mobilities. It is also highly beneficial for policymakers and practitioners working in the fields of tourism, EDI, accessibility and human rights.
