This groundbreaking book addresses the longstanding lack of consensus surrounding the approach to marginalization in tourism. The chapters identify critical components and question the legitimacy of who qualifies as marginalized. Crucially, the book formulates effective solutions to address marginalization within the tourism context.While previous studies in tourism and social sciences have presented diverse conceptualizations and explanations of marginalization, the chapters in this book meticulously scrutinize their contextualization in constructing structural marginalization within the tourism industry. By doing so the book offers a comprehensive understanding of how marginalisation manifests in the complex dynamics within the tourism sector. The chapters unravel the multifaceted dimensions of marginalization, providing a nuanced and informed perspective that contributes significantly to the ongoing discourse on inclusivity and equity within tourism knowledge.This book will be useful to tourism practitioners, academics, students, researchers and policymakers. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Tourism Recreation Research.

The Handbook on Children and Family Tourism provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the role of tourism in shaping childhood experiences, family relationships, and social inclusion.Contributors critically engage with contemporary debates surrounding children's agency, diverse family structures, accessibility, and equity in tourism contexts. They foreground underrepresented perspectives, including those of LGBTQ+ families, single-parent households, families with children with disabilities, and families travelling with pets, demonstrating the need for inclusive and tailored travel experiences. By moving beyond traditional Western-centric notions of the nuclear family, the Handbook advocates for tourism to be used as a vehicle to enhance family well-being, address systemic inequalities, and promote social inclusion and resilience. It concludes by exploring emerging trends in the field, using a cognitive mapping approach to chart future research pathways. This Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students of tourism studies and hospitality management as well as researchers in childhood and youth studies, sociology, and psychology. It is also highly beneficial to tourism industry practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand and support the evolving dynamics of children and families within the global tourism landscape.
