Personalism and sex in tourism
Over recent years tourism academic scholarship has enhanced our understanding of the motivations of sex tourists but has offered minimal theoretical reflection as to how the wider tourist population who engage in sexual practices whilst travelling relate to ‘others’. Human relations are at the centre of all of society's sexual activities. To further understand these relations, the present paper applies the philosophy of personalism to the social …
Tourism, photography, Covid-19 and representations of nothingness
Tourism destinations underwent rapid change during the COVID-19 pandemic and for a time there was the possibility that the industry may never recover from reduced visitor numbers resulting from national and state border closures. However, while an extensive body of academic scholarship has been published exploring the interplay between the tourism industry and the pandemic; to-date, tourism scholars have not considered the value of using photogra…
What makes the giant panda a celebrity
Research indicates that animal celebrities and celebrity species emerge from the accumulation of lively capital in capitalism. This paper examines this notion through a survey of 1962 Chinese participants who visited giant pandas in Chengdu, China. The empirical investigation of 12 factors that determine panda celebrity – cuteness, aggressive behaviour, intelligence, human-animal interaction, degree of freedom, relationship to traditional Chinese…
Community participation towards conservation of Touran National Park (TNP): An application of reciprocal altruism theory
Past research linking tourism and reciprocal altruism (RA), although meagre, has typically focused on relationships between hosts and guests. To broaden the application of RA in tourism, the current study focuses specifically on a local community and their participation in conserving national park assets. Face-to-face interviews with 39 local stakeholders were conducted in Iran to investigate how locals' altruistic behaviours contribute to the co…
Rethinking 21st Century Fisheries Management: Posthuman multispecies livelihoods approach
Increasing community environmental awareness, participation in conservation, and livelihood enhancement through tourism
In line with social exchange theory, this case study explores how a previously indifferent and unsympathetic local community participates in the conservation of Touran National Park through community-based tourism. An in-depth analysis of local community members, local authorities, and NGOs revealed that due to changes in society's socio-cultural structure, the community’s awareness of conservation has significantly increased and resulted in acti…

Ecofeminism in the Tourism Context: A Discussion of the Use of Other-than-human Animals as Food in Tourism
Uses of animals in tourism range widely, including their consumption as food. This paper explores the use of animals as food in tourism, drawing on the work of ecofeminist theorists for insights into the issue. It begins by identifying some core tenets of ecofeminist philosophy. It then demonstrates its relevance to the tourism context—specifically to the use of animals as food in tourism—by discussing several examples from the industry and drawi…

Carbon Footprint of the Global Hotel Companies: Comparison of Methodologies and Results
Carbon footprint is becoming a widely used measure of an organization's contribution to climate change. However, despite a growing number of international standards and guidelines, there is still no consistent and widely agreed-upon methodology for assessment. The current practice of carbon footprint reporting in many industries is not well known and very ambiguous. This paper reports on a study of 150 of the largest hotel groups in the world to …
Tourism and Animal Ethics
There is a long history of the involvement of animals for tourism purposes in circuses, zoos, fairs, ecotourism and wildlife tourism, using animals as the prime focus of their experience. The wave of responsibility and sustainability that currently permeates the tourism field is catalyzing deeper moral questions about equity, equality, rights, justice, and values in regards to what constitutes acceptable tourism practice. Tourism and Animal Ethic…
