About The Book:
In today’s increasingly complex tourism environment, effective decision-making requires a holistic and well-informed approach. Critical Tourism Inquiry seeks to transform the way we understand and manage tourism and hospitality. This book argues for a radical shift in how we educate future tourism professionals, emphasizing the need for intellectual rigor, consultation, and critical distance.
The second edition of this book advances the debate by exploring how critical tourism inquiry can make a meaningful difference in the world. It links tourism education—anchored in values of empowerment, partnership, and ethics—with policy and practice. Designed to foster critical thinking, the book offers multidisciplinary perspectives and addresses vital concepts in tourism and hospitality management.
The book is divided into three key sections that aim to stimulate social change through tourism:
-
Critical Thinking: Focuses on the role of critical thinking in tourism research, discussing tourism epistemology and the development of key concepts, as well as issues like research entanglements and reflexivity.
-
Critical Education: Explores the university's role as a site for activism, mapping out the moral and practical role of educators in developing responsible graduates and addressing the student experience.
-
Critical Action: Examines the potential for social justice and transformation within the tourism industry, offering fresh perspectives on how tourism can contribute to societal development.
This timely and thought-provoking book is essential reading for students, researchers, and academics interested in tourism and hospitality, as it challenges current paradigms and encourages new ways of thinking about the industry's role in societal change.
