About the Book

This book critically examines the concepts of otherness and othering in tourism, investigating how human and non-human actors are perceived and positioned within tourism spaces. It offers theoretical insights on tourism futures, spatial entanglements between humans and non-humans and practical case studies from researchers and practitioners. Drawing from posthumanist theory and its affirmative ethics, it challenges traditional anthropocentric views, emphasising relationality, justice and sustainability in tourism development. The volume integrates future studies and theories to explore emerging trends, critical reflections and possible utopian and dystopian scenarios for the future of tourism. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers and professionals in tourism and leisure studies, geography and anthropology, as well as those exploring posthumanism, the spatial turn in the social sciences and critical tourism studies.

Review :
Tourism is about encountering ‘the Other’ – other peoples, places, species and lifeways. This compilation guides us through multiple encounters with Others in various contexts, most particularly human-animal interfaces in tourism. Using a futures lens and an ethical imaginary, Dr Tomassini has commissioned a talented group of authors to reveal to us tourism potentialities in supporting more ecocentric and inclusive futures. By focusing on ‘otherness’ and ‘othering’, this book offers critical insights essential to reimagining the future of tourism. The use of Calvino’s work to frame the discussion in the opening chapters is a welcome surprise, adding a cohesive thread throughout the edited volume. A must-read for anyone concerned with the future of tourism. This book presents a fascinating collection of studies depicting both utopian and dystopian tourism futures. Drawing on the concept of otherness and futures studies approaches, the book offers novel reflections on tourism futures in relation to political, economic, ecological, and technological turning points in tourism development. This makes the book a timely, important, creative, and thought-provoking contribution to tourism studies.
