Tourism and other short-term travel experiences, such as study abroad, have long been seen as the practice of privilege. In today’s globalized world, this can serve as either a driver or an impediment to development.

摘要

Tourism and other short-term travel experiences, such as study abroad, have long been seen as the practice of privilege. In today’s globalized world, this can serve as either a driver or an impediment to development. Tourism can be seen as the peace time voluntary movement of people, demonstrating appropriate practice and behavior. It creates a global context in which people meet in non-adversarial circumstances (Higgins-Desbiolles, More than an “industry”: The forgotten power of tourism as a social force. Tourism Management 27(6):1192–1208, 2006; Kelly, Tourism education, the peace proposition and the conscientization of the tourism industry. Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism 6(1):1–16, 2006). However, it may be classed as a benefactor of peace, rather than a contributor (Litvin, Tourism: The world’s peace industry? Journal of Travel Research 37(1):63–66, 1998), if aspects of education, economic potential, and destination development are not properly managed. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular point 7 of SGD 4, focus on building general capacities for harmonious global citizenship through the “promotion of a culture of peace.” Our globalized infrastructure allows for highly meaningful travel experiences which may create transformative encounters between visitors and visited.
