Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid expansion of the tourism industry has provided many economic benefits and affected every facet of contemporary societies including employment, government revenue and cultural manifestations. However, tourism can also be considered a problematic phenomenon, promoting dependency, underdevelopment and adverse sociocultural effects, especially for developing countries. This pioneering work provides a comprehensive review of these complex tourism issues from a sociological perspective. Various theoretical and empirical approaches are introduced and the following issues are discussed: * identifiable and stable forms of touristic behaviour and roles * social divisions within tourism * the interdependence of tourism and social institutions * the effects of transnational tourism and commodification on the ecosystem. Featuring international contributions from nine different countries, this book brings together the most noted theoretical and empirical studies and enriches them with diverse experiences and perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Wernigerode (International Tourism Studies), course: Academic Writing, language: English, abstract: Thailand has long been known as a popular destination for tourists seeking exotic experiences. Unfortunately, one aspect that has gained notoriety is the prevalence of sex tourism in the country. This essay aims to critically examine the issue of sex tourism in Thailand, shedding light on its implications and consequences. Through a careful analysis of scholarly research and direct quotes from experts, we will explore the ethical concerns surrounding this industry. To fully comprehend the origins and development of sex tourism in Thailand, it is essential to delve into its historical context. The Vietnam War era played a significant role in shaping Thailand's sex tourism industry. As Professor John Doe, an expert on Southeast Asian studies, explains, "The presence of American soldiers during this period created a demand for sexual services, leading to the emergence of a thriving industry."
Download or read book The Tourism we do not talk about A study on Sexual Exploitation of Children in Tourism with a focus on Argentina and Brazil written by Alana Hartmann Matschulat and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries facing substantial socioeconomic problems where tourism acts as an engine for development often become vulnerable to the phenomenon known as „sex tourism”. South America is a region that shows a high incidence of commercial activities of this kind, which also hides many forms of exploitation, sex trade of children being one of the most serious. What leaves room for its occurrence often are the gaps present in the legislations, along with the obsolete applicability of such laws, or even our indifference as actors capable of provoking social change. This book contains a study that seeks to identify the origins of the occurrence and the legal apparatus available to deal with the incidence of commercial sexual exploitation of children in the region, focusing on Brazil – as a pioneer – and Argentina – a recent country dealing with such an issue. Through an analysis of the evolution of the legal framework in both countries and the international mechanisms the book is also an invitation to the reader to reflect on this unmentioned side of tourism.

Download or read book Night Market written by Ryan Bishop and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thailand, a $4 billion per year tourist industry is the linchpin of the modernization process called the "Thai Economic Miracle". And what is Thailand's main attraction? Sex for hire. Year after year young women are lured to Bangkok to staff the teeming brothels, massage parlors, and sex bars that cater to male tourists from the United States, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, the Gulf States, Malaysia, and Singapore. Developed from Lillian S. Robinson's article in The Nation, Night Market traces the historical, cultural, material, and textual traditions that have combined in unique ways to establish sex tourism as an integral part of the developing Thai economy. It explores international sex tourism from the perspectives of economic-development planning, forced labor market choices, international sexual alienation, and textual traditions that have constructed sexual "Other" cultures in Western imagination.

Download or read book Women as Producers and Consumers of Tourism in Developing Regions written by Yorghos Apostolopoulos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism has become the world's largest industry, according to the World Tourism Organization; no surprise when one considers that it incorporates the world's oldest profession. In some developing regions, such as the Caribbean or the South Pacific, tourism is the primary sector in which significant economic growth takes place. In other regions, including areas of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and formerly communist eastern Europe, tourism is just beginning to take off. In all of these areas, tourism's impact has been decidedly mixed. Nowhere is this more visible than in the context of women's roles in tourism. The contributors demonstrate the many ways in which gender determines the roles they play as both tourists and providers of tourism as product and service. A valuable contribution to tourism studies, women's studies, and the literature of economic development. The premises of this unique collection of research are that women's roles in tourism are gendered, just as are their other roles in gendered societies; that tourism affects women differently than it affects men; and that women themselves are affected in different ways by tourism depending on such factors as race, region, and class (leisured consumer vs. working producer, or guest vs. host). The contributors cover theoretical perspectives, including those provided by feminists and economic development analysts; women's roles in tourism in the mature industries of the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific; women's roles in the less-developed tourist destinations of the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and eastern Europe; and implications for the future of economic development policy and of gender relations in tourism.
