A brief overview of this edition

The third edition of the London Journal of Tourism, Sport and Creative Industries synthesizes a variety of case studies from around the world that fall within the emergent scholarly and applied body of critical research on the topic of Indigenous tourism, and they explore abroad range of themes articulated within this area of study. Geographically, this body of research presents a variety of Indigenous tourism venues and providers from China/Tibet, Bhutan, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Brazil, and New Zealand. Examples of tourism in this collection span a variety of business models from single proprietorships to community ownership to state managed operations in locations that range from rural hamlets attempting to attract visitorship, to established mass tourism destinations, to places that are attempting to limit and control visitorship. Yet these places and the people who inhabit them share a connection to the transnational currents of hypermodernity through tourism. The major themes that emerge within this edition draw upon the concept of Indigeneity as a useful construct to understand and analyze emergent forms of capitalism in respect to international policy, state subjectivity, and the relationship between ideology, discourse and representation as it is articulated between local and global levels.
