Protestos contra o turismo estão surgindo em todo o mundo, desde tumultos na Cidade do México até protestos comunitários coordenados na Europa. O conflito entre turistas e moradores locais é antigo.

Desde los disturbios en Ciudad de México hasta las protestas coordinadas de las comunidades en Europa, el choque entre turistas y lugareños es antiguo.
Anti-tourism protests are erupting around the world, from Mexico City riots to coordinated community protests in Europe. The clash of holidayers and locals is age-old.
Protestors are pushing back against the ‘touristification’ of their towns and cities which they fear are being designed and managed for tourists, not locals.
A report on the future impact of climate change has found more than 150 Australian tourism sites are at risk, but it probably underestimates the potential damage.
Climate change is a pressing issue, but its impacts are not felt equally by everyone. A new report seeks to address this by arguing for the importance of climate justice in the tourism industry.
Australia is the cruise industry’s fourth largest market globally. But it’s a tough place to make profits.
Everyone involved in the tourism industry will need to manage risk differently after a court found the landowners of Whakaari/White Island guilty of breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Mainstream academic publishing presents many obstacles to Indigenous authors, especially the conventional peer review process — but there are ways to overcome this.
Australia’s island destinations attract millions of visitors a year. We need a better approach to ecotourism to protect their natural assets.
Australia and New Zealand are talking about quarantine-free travel between their two countries. What would it mean and how would it work?
The same business model that has enabled the cruise industry to prosper could also spell its demise.
The COVID-19 crisis is an epic disaster for the global travel industry. But we shouldn’t try to return to business as usual.
The tragedy at Whakaari/White Island highlights the need for consent forms to ensure tourists are fully informed when choosing to visit dangerous locations.
The future of tourism depends on ensuring visitors do not wear out their welcome. Giving locals more of a say in tourism can help ensure they share in the benefits and minimise the costs.
Bad tourists are causing a global backlash, with consequences for the entire industry.
Around Australia, and the world, national parks are under threat from the curious paradox of luxury ecotourism.
Overtourism is driving a backlash among residents of many European cities, and concerns are rising in Australia, too.
Despite the delight of not having to work for several days or even weeks, holidays come with pressures.
Bethlehem looms large in our minds with the approach of Christmas. But the reality for people living there now or tourists wishing to visit the ancient city remains deeply politically fraught.
Many of our public commemorations honour people and incidents that brought great harm to others. We need to look at what that says about us, and how we build more inclusive public memorials.
It is a problem in our efforts to build reconciliation that Australians appear not to be taking up the hospitality of their fellow Australians.
The trend of ‘naked tourism’ reveals something more than just bare bottoms – and it may call for some active interventions.
No place is off-limits to tourism, so the industry grows without restriction – but there are ways to curb the environmental damage it does.
Banksy’s Walled Off Hotel invites us to consider the value of tourism as a political tool.
