In a rapidly changing and interconnected world, this book explores the critical role of local communities in shaping grounded, just, and sustainable tourism futures. Embracing local tourism as a relational approach, the contributors delve into how tourism can be reoriented to foster stronger connections between people, place, and planet. This local turn begins by placing local communities at the center of tourism, identifying strategies to safeguard and promote their rights and benefits.
The chapters in this book present concepts, case studies, and practitioner insights to explore the implications of prioritizing locals. They examine the challenges posed by market-driven approaches and explore alternative models that prioritize community-driven development. The chapters also discuss the potential of tours and turns to create circular, cyclical, and interconnected relationships, as well as approaches for democratizing tourism and building an ethos of relatedness through a relational imperative.
