Abstract

While ostensibly relying on the dynamic of inclusion, the tourism industry also capitalises on the allure of difference, with racial difference in particular being central to some destinations’ appeal. Racial categories have also impacted the practice of tourism, determining who can travel, how they can travel, and where they can go. This round table discussion brings together seven scholars to consider how issues of race shape tourism.
