ABSTRACT

This chapter raises a number of issues and considerations related to responsibility for justice in the local-global domain in which tourism plays out. The first half of the chapter explores stakeholder responsibilities at the global level, including the role of the tourist with respect to global citizenship. The latter part of the chapter focuses on activities and practices in the local. The responsibilities of visitors and other stakeholders are discussed with the help of theoretical insights, research, examples, and cases from contributors around the world. These cases offer rich perspectives on responsibilities toward diasporic and vulnerable populations, and for development, conservation, marketing, and management. They discuss practices related to design and conservation at post-disaster recovery sites (Carolina Manrique), healing and belonging in diasporic places and spaces (Linda Enoh), social enterprise and relations of care in the urban context (Dredge and Eóin), plus a “radical” responsibility to the other (Emily Höckert). These provide opportunities to apply social justice principles and approaches discussed in Chapter 4 and previous chapters.
