“…This finding is significant in the Indonesian context since it is important to evaluate the values that underpin the representations in tourism brochures. The current study shows that tourism brochures have the political power to represent and showcase the exclusive power elites, and the authorities' use of power (Alderman and Modlin 2013;Cole and Morgan 2010), which may not have any direct connection or correlation to the questions of why someone should visit a place.…”

“…Tourism brochure become a communication tool to produce space in which the perceived process of interactions is shaped among human being (Adams and Jansson 2012;Lindell 2015). Tourism promotional images have the power not only to represent certain identities and showcase diversity, but also to exclusively portray the chosen elites and depict others in an unjust manner (Alderman and Modlin 2013;Murti 2020b;Cole and Morgan 2010). This process can be an active role in the constitution of places and spaces (Farías 2011).…”

The article examines the discourses of diversity within a nation by investigating the tourism brochures as the media produced by municipalities/regencies. Using empirical research, this study analyses four major inquiries to gain insights into the discourse of diversity in Indonesia from tourism products/services, geographical representations, ethnic diversity and occupational variations within the dynamic of media and society. The research project then analyse the cultural and social meanings on how the media function to showcase and develop a notion of ‘parade of diversity’ in the society. It reflects the ways of displaying places and people, which can include and exclude part of society, promenade through series of similar patterns across different municipalities/regencies in Indonesia. Critically, tourism brochures then facilitate the commercial definition of tourism spaces, geographical identity, the representation of the dominant groups and the interests of the powerful elites.

“…Typically perceived from a domineering neoliberal perspective, tourism development has been pursued by governments and operators alike for its economic outcomes [36][37][38] and, today, comprises one of the world's largest and growing industries [39,40]. However, "as tourism expands at a seemingly insatiable pace, the inequalities become increasingly evident and so too does the need for more complex and nuanced understandings of them" [41] (p. xv). To this end, it has been argued that tourism's "full potential is squandered and its promise of many powerful benefits for humanity remains unfulfilled" [17] (p. 1193).…”

Accessibility constitutes one important consideration in the field of scholarship relating to inclusive tourism development because it is fundamentally about the inclusion of people with disabilities in tourism and in society. This conceptual paper maps how accessible tourism is currently positioned against an established framework of inclusive tourism development and gives examples of relevant accessible tourism studies to recommend a future agenda for more inclusive outcomes that move towards sustainability. The seven elements of Scheyvens and Biddulph’s (2018) conceptual framework for inclusive tourism development form an appropriate and useful tool upon which to examine the current state of accessible tourism. The application of this framework reveals that we still have some way to go. We conclude this paper with a future agenda that posits attention to all seven elements of the inclusive tourism framework for accessible tourism, notably, to increase the involvement of people with disabilities as tourism producers and consumers; increase their self-representation and participation in decision-making; transform power relations; reimagine tourism places and people; and break down social barriers. We especially urge researchers to examine the dominant ableist discourse, to consider how our inquiry can be more participatory and inclusive, and to seek to bridge inquiry, industry and community.

“…The growth of tourism alone is not enough-it is not a straightforward consequence and not the same thing-for poverty alleviation, the reduction of inequality, and the equitable distribution of tourism benefits (Britton 1981;Cole and Morgan 2010;Gartner and Cukier 2012;Schilcher 2007;Truong 2013). The big question still is to whom are the benefits of tourism accruing?…”

From Conventional to Alternative Tourism: Rebalancing Tourism towards a Community-Based Tourism Approach in Hanoi, Vietnam

This article proposes an alternative tourism development approach that we have termed ‘rebalancing’, which is based on tourism development adopting Community-based Tourism (CBT) principles and characteristics whose hallmark is to give local control of the tourism sector to disadvantaged members of society. The article is based on extant literature and uses Hanoi as a case study to articulate the role of CBT against a backdrop of the growth and presence of large international hotel chains in Hanoi following the adoption of the Doi Moi policy. The increase in international hotel chains poses a high risk of an increase in leakages. The accommodation sub-sector and food sector are essential in tourism in Hanoi, as they are elsewhere. These provide small businesses the opportunity to participate in the name of inclusivity, empowerment, and poverty alleviation. For the authenticity of Hanoi and respecting its traditions and values, we propose a model of growth for Hanoi that includes food street vendors alongside large international hotel chains, large national (privately owned) hotels (nationally/locally owned), small independent national hotels (locally owned), bed and breakfast/guesthouse (locally owned), backpackers (locally owned), homestay (locally owned), ‘Albergo Diffuso’ (locally owned), LCBT accommodation (locally owned), CBT (Independently owned structures under an umbrella organization), and CBT (community-owned structures). It also suggests the retention of traditional architecture for the diversity and uniqueness of Hanoi. It recommends that the government should not promulgate legislation and policies that attempt to limit the scope of food street vending but rather empower food street vendors to grow and prosper. This should be done alongside specific legislation that sets minimum standards related to hygiene on the streets for inclusive growth and poverty alleviation.
