Reviews

'This book contributes to the research on tourism and leisure studies, but it goes significantly deeper than the usual tourist/tourism studies because of the emphasis on peace. It is refreshing to read research that engages with ways where social justice and international citizenship can be encouraged and developed, and while there is still further research to be done, this collection demonstrates that tourism can be a catalyst for peace in developing nations.' Annona Pearse (2015): Peace through tourism: promoting human security through international citizenship, Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure and Events, DOI: 10.1080/19407963.2014.977507 Article Link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19407963.2014.977507
