It is a global unevenness through which the barriers to in-migration of Third World migrants to wealthy First World nations go ever higher, while the barriers to travel in the reverse direction are all but extinct. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo how exactly does tourism contribute to narrowing this glaring inequality between the rich and poor? Are ever-expanding tourism markets a smoke-free, socioculturally sensitive form of human industrialisation? Is alternative tourism really a credible lever for reducing global inequality and eliminating poverty? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTourism and Sustainability critically explores the most significant universal geopolitical norms of the last half century â development, globalisation and sustainability â and through the lens of new forms of tourism demonstrates how we can better get to grips with the rapidly changing new global order.

Mowforth and Munt write incisively of complex matters, yet their work has a real humanity at its core. This new edition will be a key resource for another generation of students and researchers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Mark Hampton, Reader in Tourism Management, University of Kent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommonly associated with lightness and frivolity, with sand beaches and holidays, the authors fully succeed in their goal of repositioning tourism as a serious and important discipline within political science and development. In this fourth edition Mowforth and Munt masterfully accomplish what seemed impossible: they deepen further the enquiry, updating throughout with new events and case studies, and adding three new chapters bridging the links between tourism and poverty, human security, migration, terrorism and urbanisation. Never before has an analysis been so far-reaching, so present-to-day, so perceptive. An essential volume for students and academics across a wide range of disciplines and for all those interested in understanding our contemporary world through the powerful lens that tourism offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessor Andréa Sousa Dantas, Department of Tourism, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short, this fourth edition updates the states of matter and analysis of the debates raised in the past, and introduces new issues that increasingly abundant academic literature has generated in recent years. It does so by staying away from the conformist or slightly reformist visions, as already mentioned, they are dominant. Thanks to all this, it remains a necessary reference text, essential to understand the development of the tourism phenomenon (especially in countries of the global South) and to meet the academic analysis done about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJordi Gascón, Universitat de Barcelona \u0026amp; Foro de Turismo Responsable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews on previous editions of \u003ci\u003eTourism and Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘This book should be compulsory reading for all those engaged in tourism research.’ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e– Erlet Cater, In Focus, Tourism Concern\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘…one of the most significant books produced on tourism in the past few years.’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e– \u003c\/em\u003eGeoffrey Wall, \u003ci\u003eAnnals of Tourism Research\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘A valuable and overdue contribution to a multi-disciplinary area.
