A Research Agenda for Peace and Tourism

Edited by Anna Farmaki, Assistant Professor, Department of Tourism Management and Hospitality, Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus

This highly prescient Research Agenda critically examines the delicate intersection of peace and tourism and proposes further research in order to explore how tourism may contribute to peace or, conversely, hinder the peacebuilding efforts of destinations in conflict. Chapters discuss tourism as a peace-builder, the acceptance of dark tourism, a gender approach to peace through tourism, and corporate social responsibility as a contributor to peace in conflict-ridden situations.

‘This book brings together a fascinating range of perspectives on the role that tourism can play in promoting peace. By covering issues including the role of the media, social movements, dark tourism sites and education the expertly edited book provides a stepping-stone for renewed scholarly enquiry into this important area of research.’
——布鲁斯·普利多,中央昆士兰大学ustralia

‘Whether tourism leads to peace or not has been a subject of debate for several decades. In this edited volume, a diverse group of contributors offers several fresh perspectives regarding this topic. Anyone who is interested in this research area should consider adding this book to their collection.’
