Beskrivning

Although human trafficking has long been a tragic part of history, in recent years it has become an ever-growing problem globally, and in many cases facilitated a modern form of slavery. In the twenty-first century, human trafficking is not only intertwined with international drug cartels but also, although rarely mentioned, with the tourism industry.Human Trafficking and the Tourism Industry uncovers the tragedy of human trafficking and the history of this phenomenon, confronting the dark side of the tourism industry. It fills the academic gap regarding the rarely mentioned interrelationship between the two, shining a light on how many people are trapped in a new form of indentured servitude. Peter Tarlow and Andrew Spencer analyze how outside forces such as the recent Covid pandemic impacted human trafficking and how well-established tourism practices such as tipping add to the dehumanization process. The book is aimed not only at academics and practitioners of tourism but also is meant to be a guide for government policy makers, law enforcement agencies and a wake-up call for members of the international tourism industry.The Tourism Security-Safety and Post Conflict Destinations series provides an insightful guide for policy makers, specialists and social scientists interested in the future of tourism in a society where uncertainness, anxiety and fear prevail.

Recensioner i media

Peter Tarlow and Andrew Spencer have created a major work on one of the tragedies of modern tourism - the industry’s role in human and sex trafficking. Although human trafficking dates back many millennia, our open global society has created new challenges for both law enforcement and the travel and tourism industry. Dr. Tarlow and Spencer show the clear distinctions between slavery, prostitution, and human trafficking. They illustrate how the tourism industry is involved in many of these crimes both on a passive and, at times, active level. They also provide ways for the tourism industry to meet these challenges and become a positive force in the fight against these social plagues. Their book is an important read for anyone who cares about human dignity, and it is essential for members of the world’s tourism and law enforcement industries. I served more than nine years representing global media on the UNWTO (World Tourism Organization) task group fighting the sexual exploitation of children through tourism. This issue is also close to my heart, and it is so important to raise awareness within our sector, the global travel and tourism industry, and of course everywhere where people travel.
