Theme
Tourism geographies in the ‘Asian Century
Overview
In this webinar, speakers will demonstrate how tourism geographies as seen through an Asia Pacific lens, reflects socio-cultural and political-economic flows in particularly visible ways, where tourists and the tourism industry are dramatically swept up in the swirl of geopolitical repositionings. For tourism scholars, this is a clarion call to consider how tourism geographies are being reshaped by these wide-ranging shifts. Presenters will examine some of the most urgent political-economic, environmental, and geopolitical implications of this recentering of tourism geographies in the Asian Century. Given the economic and political prominence of the industry in the region, presenters will address the shifts characterized by the ‘Asian Century’ through critically engaged and empirically rich accounts of tourism in Asia and the Pacific. Presenters consider what the transition into the Asian Century means for some of the most urgent issues of our time such as sustainable development, human rights, gender equality, and environmental change. Further, the post-pandemic tourism landscape will require tourism practitioners and scholars to account for the radical recentering of geopolitical and political-economic power and the broader Asia pivot.
