| description |
As we see our world approaching a mega-crisis caused by climate change, ecological disasters,
over-population, over-pollution, economic turbulence, global tensions and violence, social destruc-
tion and moral decay, we become receptive to the idea that natural resources, energy and money
are becoming scarce and sustainability of future development alone may not be enough to lead us
to a better future. We need to become concerned with our survivability and make a change in the
way we manage the complex and potentially dangerous times in which we live and the great chaos
and confusion we experience. Our values need to undergo a massive shift to fi ght environmental
abuse, injustice, poverty, hunger and violence, and we must craft real alternatives to balance the
‘MacDonaldization’ of this world.
In order to make a change and, consequently, reach the next stage of human growth, we need
to follow a transformation path. We need to transform ourselves – our values, life priorities, lifestyle,
and the way we use resources and spend time and money. We must move towards a world in which
we learn about the purpose and meaning of our life, a world that gives way to new values of eco-
logical awareness, empathy for others, non-violence, human rights and equality.
Human survivability and creating a better life are inextricably linked to human transformation,
which can be achieved through travel and tourism. Travel and tourism can transform our journey
and help make the future better. There are travel styles and products of the highest quality that heal
rather than harm our global ecological, socio-cultural, economic and political systems. Travel and
tourism can shift our perspective on life and change the course of our knowledge, values, attitudes
and behaviour.
This book deals with the important issue of how travel and tourism, if developed in a proper
form, can contribute to human transformation, growth and development, and change human
behaviour and our relationship with the world. The volume investigates the experiences offered by
travel and tourism that can change travellers as human beings and their relationships and interac-
tions with natural, socio-cultural, economic, political and technological environments. It is hoped
the book will offer a potential solution to the challenges of our transitory times by utilizing the con-
cept of human transformation and understanding the transformational nature of tourism and its
importance to changing the world. |
