Justice and tourism research is still in its infancy within the field of tourism studies, presenting numerous challenges due to the intricate nature and vast scale of the tourism industry. Consequently, there is a pressing need to transcend disciplinary boundaries in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon, which is intricately linked to place and people at local, regional, and global levels. The contributors to this book have drawn from a diverse range of knowledge domains, including sociology, geography, business studies, urban planning, architecture, anthropology, philosophy, and management studies. Their research encompasses a wide spectrum of approaches, from case-based empirical studies to descriptive and theoretical frameworks addressing justice and tourism.

Critical issues such as social justice, gender equality, discrimination, racism, minority and worker rights, indigenous cultural and heritage justice, food sovereignty, and post-humanistic perspectives that emphasize the importance of attending to non-human others, climate justice, and sustainable futures are explored in depth. A rich tapestry of principles is interwoven throughout the chapters, highlighting the need for ongoing collaboration between researchers in the Global North and Global South to foster diverse voices and worldviews that contribute to the pluralism of justice and tourism.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, further emphasizing the significance of this research area and the need for continued exploration and understanding.
