“…when we observed a shift from functionalist and reductionist approaches to more critical and holistic ones (e.g. Jamal & Camargo, 2014; Ferguson & Alarcón, 2015; Jimenes-Esquinas, 2017; Beall, Boley, Landon, & Woosnam, 2021; Higgins-Desbiolles, Blanchard, & Urbain, 2021). This disciplinary movement aligns with the evolving discourse and practice on sustainability.…”

“…As this wave of critical thinking unfolds in sustainable tourism research, it has now become even more urgent to study gender relations with a holistic approach seeking to change and transform society and help move away from oppressive, exploitative, and alienating practices (Bramwell & Lane, 2014; Zhang, Kimbu, Lin, & Ngoasong, 2020). There is growing consensus that SDG 5 concerned with gender equality and empowerment of women is essential for achieving all seventeen SDGs (Higgins-Desbiolles, Blanchard, & Urbain, 2021; Alarcon & Cole, 2019; Khoo-Lattimore, Yang & Sanggyeong, 2019). In this context, going beyond simplistic approaches to gender inequality in tourism entrepreneurship is critical for equipping women entrepreneurs, managers, and employees with a higher degree of control in relation to environmental and socially responsible decision-making (Figueroa-Domecq, Kimbu, & de Jong and Williams, 2020; Higgins-Desbiolles, Blanchard, & Urbain, 2021).…”

PurposeSustainability is viewed as an encompassing perspective, as endorsed by the international policy context, driven by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We aim to examine how women entrepreneurs transform capitals to pursue sustainability, and to generate policy insights for sustainability actions through tourism entrepreneurship.Design/methodology/approachApplying qualitative approach, we have generated empirical evidence drawing on 37 qualitative interviews carried out in Turkey, whereby boundaries between traditional patriarchal forces and progressive movements in gender relations are blurred.FindingsWe have generated insights into how women entrepreneurs develop their sustainability practice by transforming their available economic, cultural, social and symbolic capitals in interpreting the macro-field and by developing navigation strategies to pursue sustainability. This transformative process demonstrates how gender roles were performed and negotiated in serving for sustainability pillars.Research limitations/implicationsIn this paper, we demonstrate the nature and instrumentality of sustainable tourism entrepreneurship through a gender lens in addressing some of these SDG-driven challenges.Originality/valueWe advance the scholarly and policy debates by bringing gender issues to the forefront, discussing sustainable tourism initiatives from the viewpoint of entrepreneurs and various members of local community and stakeholder in a developing country context where women’s solidarity becomes crucial.

“…Issues of risk, safety and security remain an important influence on international tourists (Carballo et al, 2017) and are a vital element of sustainable development for host communities and destinations. SDG 16 draws our attention to the ways in which peace, justice and strong institutions are intertwined with sustainability, and the literature on peace through tourism offers numerous examples of how tourism can play a role in this (Higgins-Desbiolles et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThis article explores the ways in which the relationship between tourism, sustainable development and peace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is presented in national tourism policies, with a focus on United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)16: peace justice and strong institutions.Design/methodology/approachLeximancer 5.0 software is used to analyze national tourism policy documents. Themes and concepts from the documents are presented visually in a concept map, and further qualitative analysis is carried out on the theme of sustainability to generate insights.FindingsThe relationship between tourism and peace is not well developed in tourism policies in the MENA region. This is a missed opportunity to use the engine of tourism development to promote regional sustainable development, but increased engagement with nongovernmental organization (NGOs) and communities by tourism policy-makers can help to address this.Originality/valueThis article links SDG 16 to tourism policy and provides insights into how this relationship could be developed in a region experiencing recurrent crises and high levels of tourism growth.

This article discusses the Peace Creative Tourism Village as a peaceful tourism destination to build peace between religions and beliefs in Indonesia. This study is motivated by the rise of identity politics after the collapse of the New Order in 1998. The rise of identity politics has triggered several inter-ethnic and religious conflicts in several regions in Indonesia. Conflicts between the Dayak tribes and Madurese migrants occurred in Kalimantan in early February 2001, Christian and Muslim conflicts in Posso in 1998, and Ambon in 1999. The state has made various efforts to maintain peace between ethnic and religions in Indonesia, but intolerance, even inter-ethnic and religious conflicts, still occur in plural Indonesia. This study discusses an alternative effort to build peace between religions and beliefs through tourist destinations. This research uses a case study qualitative method. This study found that the Peace Creative Tourism Village of Srumbung Mountain, with its tour packages: peace education, live-in, and traditional culinary and cultural festivals, can be a local contribution to building peace between religions and beliefs in Indonesia.
