This book offers a critical and justice-oriented examination of tourism's complex impacts, revealing how it shapes and is shaped by economic, social, gender, environmental, animal, and racial (in)justices. It explores pathways towards more equitable and transformative practices for communities and environments.

The book examines a mosaic of international research on issues of justice and power in tourism. Offering a critical and justice-oriented perspective, it seeks to develop a deep and critical understanding of how tourism interacts with injustices, but also how it perpetuates various forms of (in)justice, beyond the purely economic and marketing driven view of tourism. Anchored in the critical tourism studies, the book is building on a diversity of perspectives and a rich array of theoretical and disciplinary framework to challenge conventional point of view on power dynamics and subsequent (in)justice issues associated with tourism. With illustrative case studies from different part of the world, it leads the readers to build reflexivity and critical engagement for a thoughtful research, theories and practices in tourism.

This book is aimed at graduate studies students and professors interested in a critically oriented justice base understanding of tourism as a global phenomenon. It will also offer a varied perspective on the complexity of tourism, its multidisciplinary weaving with geographies, societies and philosophies to all tourism scholars.
