This book gathers theoretical and empirical studies exploring the link between global crises, sustainable tourism and the justice challenges being faced by vulnerable groups, individuals, and society.While any crisis may exacerbate existing inequalities, the crises of the 21st century are compounding and complicating the ways the impacts unfold and engulf individuals, communities and indeed, the global community. Recent crises revealed how dependent our economies and societies are on the tourism and hospitality industries. While studies of crises in tourism have proliferated, with concerns for risk management, recovery and resilience, COVID-19 has exposed the need to think more profoundly on this topic. In such circumstances, therefore, tourism actors must respond to the sustainability and justice challenges resulting from current and future crises by rethinking, redefining and reorienting tourism. The chapters in this edited volume present a discussion of pertinent themes that consider just transformations, issues of climate justice, diverse worldviews and knowledges, possibilities for solidarity through tourism, and concerns with power and decolonisation.This book will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers, and academic of tourism, development studies and sustainability, as well as professionals in the field of tourism management. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This forward-thinking Research Agenda explores what it means to place justice at the heart of tourism, treating it not as a settled goal but as a shifting and contested practice. Through contributions from leading and emerging scholars across the global north and global south, this Research Agenda brings together diverse perspectives on justice in tourism, interrogating how it operates across gender, mobility, climate, conservation, urban resistance, and political struggle. Contributions expose how dominant tourism systems, driven by neoliberal growth logics, technocratic governance, and anthropocentric ideologies, reinforce historical and structural injustices, while also highlighting how feminist, ecological, and more-than-human perspectives unsettle these narratives and open space for resistance, solidarity, and alternative futures. Rather than offering universal solutions, the book maps critical directions for research and practice, positioning tourism as a site of both (in)justice and possibility. It invites readers to reimagine tourism not only as an economic activity, but as a terrain of struggle where more equitable, regenerative, and liveable futures might be pursued. A vital resource for students and academics in tourism, environmental and climate justice, sociology, and development studies, A Research Agenda for Just Tourism Futures is also essential for policymakers, practitioners, and activists seeking to confront tourism’s harms and imagine more just alternatives.

First comprehensive exploration of climate justice in tourism, critically examining how tourism is both a catalyst to the crisis but also a victim of its impacts.This book provides the first comprehensive exploration of climate justice in tourism, critically examining how tourism contributes to and is impacted by the global climate crisis. It offers a multidimensional justice framework to unpack systemic injustices embedded in tourism and climate governance.With global case studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, the book interrogates dominant growth-centric, colonial and anthropocentric tourism models, and calls for radical transitions toward just, decolonised and regenerative futures. It bridges theory and practice by providing both critical diagnoses and constructive pathways for a climate-just tourism transformation.It is a useful resource for postgraduate students, researchers, academics, policymakers and practitioners working in tourism, climate change, environmental justice and sustainable development. It is also valuable for advanced undergraduate courses that engage with tourism, justice, sustainability and global development.
