“…The first offers an insight into the business of tourism (Fletcher, Fyall, Gilbert, & Wanhill, 2013) The second takes a more social science (Hannam & Knox, 2010) The shorthand for these cumulative qualities is Neoliberalism, or sometimes the Washington Consensus. Indeed some of the Tourism Tribes' informants (Tribe, 2010, p. 30) pointed to "the overarching paradigm of neo-liberalism disciplining how the subject operates."…”

“…In their words, "heritage industry [---] is inherently about the telling of stories, and the association of those stories with historic sites, landscapes, artefacts and people" (Hannam & Knox 2011: 156). The story of the Land of St. Martin and the Templars, through the efforts of local authorities, is associated with the physical remains and new signs of 'St.…”

“…Commodification of poverty is here understood as a way of capitalist value creation. For Freire-Medeiros, this is exceptional as she notes: The more general notion of commodification has been discussed intensely in tourism literature, also in relation to questions of authenticity (Hannam & Knox 2009). Critically, commodification can be seen as a differentiation between use value and exchange value.…”

This paper introduces the special issue on slum-tourism with a reflection on the state of the art on this new area of tourism research. After a review of the literature we discuss the breaths of research that was presented at the conference "Destination Slum", the first international conference on slumtourism. Identifying various dimensions as well as similarities and differences of slum tourism in different parts of the world we contest that slum tourism has evolved from being practiced at only a limited number of places into a truly global phenomenon which now is performed on five continents.Equally the variety of services and ways in which tourists visit the slums has increased.The widening scope and diversity of slum tourism is clearly reflected in the variety of papers presented at the conference and in this special issue. Whilst academic discussion on the theme is evolving rapidly, slum tourism is still a relatively young area of research. Most papers at the conference and indeed most slum tourism research as a whole appears to remain focused on understanding issues of representation, often concentrating on a reflection of slum tourists rather than tourism. Aspects such as the position of local people remained underexposed as well as empirical work on the actual practice of slum tourism. To address these issues, we set out a research agenda in the final part of the article with potential avenues for future research to further the knowledge on slum tourism.
