TOU211: Indigenous Tourism Issues

This unit is concerned with the involvement of indigenous peoples in tourism. It examines the impacts of tourism on indigenous peoples from the emic and etic points of view along the spectrum from commoditisation of culture and the 'museumisation' of peoples, to the role of tourism in resurrecting and strengthening the value of indigenous practices and culture. Case studies include Aboriginal Australia, the South Pacific, Asia and East Africa. Participation in field trips on a cost recovery basis is required.
