グローバル教養科目(Tourism and Justice)
Tourism and Justice
Tourism is just a leisure pursuit, but defining ‘just tourism’ is more difficult than it seems. If justice is inextricably linked with human rights, it is fair that you exercise your right to tourism. Let’s board a plane! Many destinations await you! Your travel emits a lot of carbon dioxide and contributes to global warming, which results in the sea level rise. Islanders of a sinking small island may drown as a consequence of your travel, but do not care. You just exercised your right… You actually think and act more ethically, don’t you?
This course is designed to discuss the meaning of justice in a variety of tourism-related contexts, with particular focus on people vulnerable to negative impacts of (mass) tourism, such as women, kids, people with disability, indigenous people and black people. We also extend our scope of analysis to consider non-human others, such as animals exploited behind tourism scenes. Classes are fora for active discussion and debate, and students are encouraged to exchange opinions. By the end of this course, students should be able to define ‘just tourism’ in their own manners.
Sustainable Development Goals:
Targets of SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and SDG 14 (Life below water) explicitly mention their relevance to tourism.
・Target 8.9: “By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products”.
・Target 12.b: “Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable development impacts for sustainable tourism which creates jobs, promotes local culture and products”.
・Target 14.7: “By 2030 increase the economic benefits to SIDS and LDCs from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture, and tourism”.
However, many other SDGs are relevant to tourism. For example, tourism is a contributing factor in climate change (SDG 13).
