As such, it is fi rmly located within ‘hopeful tourism scholar ship’, an emerging paradigm within the fi eld, which advocates linking critical thinking, pedagogy and action to achieve more just societies in and through tourism (Ateljevic et al., 2007a; Ren et al., in press). Tourism is frequently described as one of the world’s fastest growing industries and a new source of wealth creation in deprived regions and less developed nations. Recently, however, emphasis on its economic benefi ts has been countered by increasing concerns over the uneven nature of such economic develop ment, serious questions about the environ mental sustainability of the tourism industry and disquiet at the negative social and cultural impacts of tourism. These concerns have been expressed by aca demics, policy makers and practitioners, and have been raised in relation to different scales: individual well-being, family struc ture, community development and national identity (Botterill and Klemm, 2006, 2007). In both tourism-generating regions and in tourism-receiving com munities, tourism is part of wider social, economic, political, ecological and cultural processes, and the goal of this volume is to unpick these complex processes in order to expose the relationships between tourism and inequality; more than this, however, its contributors also review international examples of socially responsible tourism to provide a stock of good practice cases for tourism students, educators, practitioners and activists. 2014-04-21T01:58:09Z 2014-04-21T01:58:09Z 2010 Book 978 1 84593 662 4 https://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/36996 en application/pdf CABI
