Description

Product Description Tourism and Wellness: Travel for the Good of All? enhances academic understandings and analyses of tourism as a social and worldmaking force by situating broad questions of well-being, health, and equity within the scaffolds of critical tourism studies. Contributors touch on power and politics, space and place, reflexivity and relationships, values and affect, and inequality and equity as viewed through critically informed and social justice perspectives. This collection of cutting-edge, critical tourism analyses contextualizes and disrupts how wellness is understood in tourism. Review This invaluable collection brings together contributors who adopt a critical studies approach to scrutinize the tourism-wellness nexus. The depth of thoughts expressed, the freshness of ideas discussed, and the multiplicity of perspectives explored undoubtedly make the book stand out. Those with an academic interest in the subject of tourism and wellness, as well as general and practitioner readers, should find the contents of this book both interesting and inspiring.--Honggen Xiao, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University This is a terrific book and ought to be read by everyone with an interest in wellness. This compilation sheds much needed light on wellness from an array of spaces and stories, including the Indigenous, the feminist, the historical, the non-human, the researcher, the local and created communities. As such the scope of this volume is complex and holistic in its intention, answering a call for more inclusive and embodied understandings of tourism.--Heike Schanzel, Auckland University of Technology Moving beyond the level of the individual to consider wellness as more broadly implicated within social and ecological relations, this timely book takes a much needed holistic approach to the fascinating relationship between wellness and tourism.--Hazel Tucker, University of Otago About the Author Dr. Heather Mair is an Assistant Professor in the Recreation and Leisure Studies Department, University of Waterloo, Canada.
