Tourism and wellness: travel for the good of all?

'Tourism and wellness' examines the nexus of tourism and wellness from critically informed and social justice perspectives.

The book enhances academic understandings and analyses of tourism as a social and world-making force by situating broad questions of wellbeing, health, and equity within the scaffolds of critical tourism studies.

Whereas the majority of tourism publications dealing with wellness have tended to maintain an individualistic and industry-oriented focus, this book draws together cutting-edge, critical tourism analyses that contextualize and disrupt how wellness is understood in tourism, and by whom and for whom.

Power and politics, space and place, reflexivity and relationships, values and affect, inequality and equity are explored throughout the book's substantive chapters.
