'This Handbook brings together cutting-edge work that addresses experiences from around the globe and examines social tourism from many angles and at many levels. The Handbook of Social Tourism advances our understanding of the conceptualisation of social tourism and how it is applied in practice at various points around the world. The chapters in this book contribute to building an argument that social tourism advances not only social inclusion, social equity and social justice through the capacities of tourism and tourism stakeholders, but also wider sustainability in tourism. It is hard to find faults in this comprehensive and valuable work.' -- Freya Higgins-Desbiolles, International Journal of Tourism Policy

‘At least for this reviewer, this book has two unquestionable merits. On one hand, it gives a fresh snapshot of the problem of poverty and inequalities accelerated by modern consumption. On another, an all-encompassing diagnosis shaped by interdisciplinary research, which was conducted by worldly researchers, is generously offered as interplay between theory and practice.’ -- Maximiliano E Korstanje, Tourism Management ‘This Handbook brings together cutting-edge work that addresses experiences from around the globe and examines social tourism from many angles and at many levels.
