“…During these two centuries, the technological dominance of the West was often associated with supremacy of Western science and related culture, so the knowledge production system of non-Western societies was transformed in line with the Western style (Elshakry, 2010). Winter (2009) argues that Eurocentrism prevails in modern scholarship (Tucker & Hayes, 2019;Tucker & Zhang, 2016). Under the influence of a worldview overemphasizing Western civilization, many Westerners and even non-Westerners consciously or subconsciously think Western culture is superior to other non-Western cultures, which may explain unfair treatment of international students within Western countries.…”

The research aims to explore the changes of national identity among Chinese international students in the odd social context of the global pandemic. By conducting semi-structured interviews with 10 Chinese undergraduate and postgraduate students in a prestigious university located in London, UK, the study provides evidence of Western neo-racism against Chinese students and the rise of Chinese nationalism. More significantly, it is found that Western neo-racism and Chinese nationalism have a push and pull effect on the national identity enhancement of Chinese international students. The participants revealed that bottom-up popular nationalism is more than a shadow of top-down state nationalism in China, and is more influential on students’ national identity formation. The research also discusses the implications of these findings, limitations and future research directions.

“…Additionally, more research is needed on residents' perspectives on rejuvenated ecosystems and how they may challenge and/or reinforce their understandings of the ecological limits of tourism development. Finally, future research on COVID-19 would benefit from diversification of scholarship and literature beyond the Western-centric interpretations and methods (Adams, 2020;Chang, 2019;Sin et al, 2020;Tucker & hayes, 2019). In the midst and aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, this will provide more culturally relevant tourism knowledge(s) and practices for Southeast Asia in what is now widely dubbed the Asian Century.…”

“…By describing how Western identity categories of 'tourist' and 'migrant' do not fully capture the experiences of Indonesian global labor and education migrants as well people's return to their homelands, her work breaks down these Western binaries and opens space for new, more culturally relevant tourism knowledges and practices. Tucker and Hayes (2019) further deconstruct western tourism binaries, in Decentering scholarship through learning with/from each 'other'. They consider how we might cultivate a decentring of Anglo-Western-centrism in tourism scholarship.…”

Tourism Geographies

From the British Century of the 1800s to the American Century of the 1900s to the contemporary Asian Century, tourism geographies are deeply entangled in broader shifts in geopolitical power (Luce, 1999;Scott, 2008;Shenkar, 2006). This paper considers what the transition into the Asian Century means for some of the most urgent issues of our time such as sustainable development, human rights, gender equality, and environmental change. We critique Anglo-Western centrism in tourism theory and call on tourism scholars to make radical shifts toward more inclusive epistemology and praxis. In the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, the significance of the themes addressed are more urgent than ever. The pandemic has hastened claims that the Asian century has further accelerated given the contrasting successes of many Asia-Pacific countries, especially as compared to their Euro-American counterparts (Park, 2020). As critical tourism scholars, we are faced with an unprecedented situation, even as the pandemic looks set to become globally endemic and the true extent of its fullest impacts are only beginning to emerge, with more to surface in the years ahead. That the world faces increasing turmoil is abundantly clear. Yet, amidst the disruption to the everyday, it is hope and compassion, but also political-economic restructuring that is needed to reset the tourism industry in more sustainable, equitable, and ethical directions (Cheer, 2020;Lew, Cheer, Haywood, Brouder, Salazar, 2020;Mostafanezhad, 2020). While in no uncertain terms, the pandemic has forever changed the tourism industry as we once knew it, it is our hope that we can collectively build on the momentum of the inclusive scholarship that Critical Tourism Studies-Asia Pacific is renowned for (Edelheim, 2020; Pernecky, 2020) as we pause to reflect on the possibilities and challenges of tourism in a post-pandemic Asian Century.
