COVID-19 is widely recognised as a challenge or even a game-changer for travel and tourism. It has also been a catalyst to serious debate in the "tourism academy," as revealed by a discussion on ...TRINET Tourism Information Network via email in May 2020. The catalyst to this debate was an email by academic Jim Butcher announcing his work entitled "the war on tourism," published in an online magazine. Presenting a binary between industry recovery and reform, Butcher's article denounced a body of tourism work he portrayed as hostile to the industry and as using COVID-19 as an opportunity to attack it. He argued that this resulted in harm to tourism businesses, tourism workers and ordinary tourists. These TRINET discussions worked to present a binary in schools of thought, divided by being either for the tourism industry or against it. This analysis explains how advocates of industry rapid recovery stand opposed to wider efforts to reform tourism to be more ethical, responsible and sustainable. The struggle concerns both the proper role of tourism and tourism academics. Outcomes from this debate have repercussions for the development of the discipline, the education of tourism students and the future of tourism practices.
Over the last decades, the tourism sector has contributed to the national and regional economies in South Africa, while governance levels have regressed over time. The study’s objective was to ...investigate the impact of good governance on the success and growth of the tourism sector in South Africa, a proxy for developing countries. The hypothesis is that good and effective governance could positively impact tourism growth. A quantitative research methodology was used with econometric methods such as an Autoregressive Distributed Lag Error Correction (ARDL-ECM) process. The estimation indicated a long-run relationship between the variables. The tourism sector contributes significantly to the South African economy, and the government should note the importance of good governance, as indicated through this study, in the success and development of the sector. Given tourism's potential to achieve some of the Sustainable Development Goals and positively influence economic growth and development, relevant parties are urged to pursue good governance in the sector.

This study aims to examine the history of the first exploratory blue voyages initiated by the Fisherman of Halicarnassus, which have important traces in terms of Türkiye's tourism history. In this ...study, in which qualitative method was adopted, data were obtained by analysing the relevant literature. As a result of this conceptual study, it was determined that the first blue voyages initiated by the Fisherman of Halicarnassus on 22 August 1946 with nine people were educational and cultural trips, women also participated in them from 1957 onwards, blue voyages became continuous, and blue voyagers left works of art such as writings, letters, paintings, poems and monuments during the tour. It was observed that blue voyages as a cultural trip were replaced by yacht tourism after the death of the Fisherman of Halicarnassus and Sabahattin Eyüboğlu in 1973. Based on the findings of the study, suggestions for the tourism sector and academia were developed. It is thought that the findings of the study will enrich the narratives of tourist guides in guided blue voyages and that these narratives can be used in both long-term and daily boat trips.

Accounts of U.S. empire building in Latin America typically portray politically and economically powerful North Americans descending on their southerly neighbors to engage in lopsided negotiations. ...Dennis Merrill's comparative history of U.S. tourism in Latin America in the twentieth century demonstrates that empire is a more textured, variable, and interactive system of inequality and resistance than commonly assumed.In his examination of interwar Mexico, early Cold War Cuba, and Puerto Rico during the Alliance for Progress, Merrill demonstrates how tourists and the international travel industry facilitated the expansion of U.S. consumer and cultural power in Latin America. He also shows the many ways in which local service workers, labor unions, business interests, and host governments vied to manage the Yankee invasion. While national leaders negotiated treaties and military occupations, visitors and hosts navigated interracial encounters in bars and brothels, confronted clashing notions of gender and sexuality at beachside resorts, and negotiated national identities. Highlighting the everyday realities of U.S. empire in ways often overlooked, Merrill's analysis provides historical context for understanding the contemporary debate over the costs and benefits of globalization.

It is the responsibility of politicians, tourism professionals and researchers to look for solutions to ...revive this important industry.

Redefining 'community' and considering the effects tourism has on culture, this detailed book delivers an ethnographic account of both the toured and touring community in Göreme, central Turkey.
...Hazel Tucker presents an in-depth analysis of the interactions between tourists, the local community and place. She demonstrates the implications that community ownership and participation in tourism have for the politics of representation and identity, and also for the nature of the tourist experience. Dealing with contentious theoretical issues related to globalization and culture, Tucker challenges contemporary thinking relating to tourism authenticity and cultural sustainability, and shows how, together with host communities, tourists themselves are continuously negotiating their own identities and experiences in interaction with the people and places they meet.
This fascinating book develops a dynamic notion of culture and tourism sustainability, providing new insights not only for scholars of tourism, but also for those in the areas of anthropology, geography and social studies who wish to gain a deeper understanding of this global phenomenon in the contemporary world.
