Description
Why tourism & peace? Organizations like UNESCO claim that tourism promotes peace by fostering intercultural understanding. This book, however, shifts the focus to a persistent reality: conflict. While supporters of "tourism for peace" may imagine holidays free of conflict, they overlook that tourism thrives on difference-the very root of conflict. Yet ignoring conflict is not an option for peace work, where conflict is the main protagonist. This book draws on modern peace research to explore conflict not as something to avoid, but as something to transform-personally and non-violently. It proposes a new framework for discussing tourism and peace, one that centers on conflict. With the tourist linked to conflict, key concepts emerge: emotional literacy, personal development, the meaning of conflict and peace, and peace education. The book may interest readers in tourism, peace and conflict studies, and psychology. Its emphasis on the constructive use of conflict may also resonate with anyone concerned by the rise in violence.
