This timely volume provides a critical look at tourism in order to ascertain its potential as a social force to promote human rights, justice and peace.

It further draws on a diverse range of geo-political contexts. Written by leading academics, this groundbreaking book will provide a sustained critique of the potential and capacities of tourism to foster global peace.
