“…Interestingly only one of the publications in this special edition involved an indigenous researcher (Peters & Higgins-Desbiolles, 2012) and here the discussion surrounds indigenous persons as tourists rather than as objects of the hegemonic non-indigenous tourist gaze. Certainly Peters and Higgins-Desbiollles have continued a nascent concern within tourism geography, which seeks greater theoretical engagement with the destinations and tourists of and from the South (Hammett, 2012). Unfortunately, the notion of epistemological decolonisation is not explored in any of the papers in this publication.…”

“…In the context of human geography journals, Hammett (2012) has argued that these journals have called for more research from academics from the South in order to develop a more inclusive discipline. However he goes on to suggest that when research articles are submitted which have to do with issues facing countries and peoples from the South they are asked by reviewers for more extensive background detail and context for the readers of the journals who are predominantly from the West.…”

This paper critically explores decolonial theory and its relevance for tourism studies. We suggest that while postcolonial and related critical theoretical perspectives furthered understandings of the consequences of colonisation, such critical theorising has not provided an epistemological perspective of tourism which legitimises the cosmologies of, and actively empowers, traditionally marginalised groupings. We review published tourism research which adopts critical and postcolonial perspectives, and argue that while these have been valuable in terms of exposing the existence and effects of dominant discourses and practices in tourism, their emancipatory objectives are limited because tourism knowledge is still predominantly colonial. Epistemological decolonisation is thus presented as a more radical project which can provide an 'other' way of thinking, being and knowing about tourism.
