Le rôle potentiel du tourisme en matière de justice by Freya Higgins-Desbiolles

“…Les efforts pour rendre le tourisme plus responsable, éthique et équitable ont été critiqués, à la fois d’un point de vue néolibéral selon lequel le tourisme n’est pas le lieu d’un débat moral, et d’un point de vue fondé sur la théorie de la race selon lequel de nombreuses formes de tourisme de justice n’atteindraient pas leurs objectifs de solidarité et d’émancipation.Pour ce qui concerne l’avenir, l’auteur attire l’attention sur la nécessité impérieuse de consacrer d’avantage de recherches et d’initiatives aux enjeux structurels plus larges de la justice ; le courant d’études critiques en matière de tourisme lui apparaît, potentiellement, comme un vecteur prometteur dans ce domaine. …”
