“…191. Hence, peace-through-tourism is best regarded as a process rather than as an alternative tourism form which may promote a culture and an education of peace. 192. Indeed, Anette Pritchard, Nigel Morgan, and Irina Ateljevic suggested that tourism planners should consider tourism as an educational tool that may encourage transformative learning, 193. thus, achieving the sustainable peace goal (see Table 1).…”

The inclusion of peace as a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 16) in the United Nations' Agenda 2030 underscores the interrelationships between peace, economic development, durable security, and promoting human rights. Within this context, tourism has been heralded by scholars and practitioners as a means to alleviate negative prejudice and improve human relations. Yet the existing research on tourism as peacebuilding shows little supportive evidence of tourism's contributory role to peace, and instead forwards numerous claims that tourism inhibits peacebuilding by exacerbating economic, political, and socio-cultural inequalities between opposing groups. This study examines the role of tourism as a potential vehicle for justice that may bridge the gap between tourism and sustainable peace. More precisely, it considers tourism as an agent of justice addressing economic, political, and social inequalities between opposing groups through distributive, procedural, and restorative justice-related activities. Its analysis and findings offer insights that contribute to peace-through-tourism theory and practice while enhancing understanding of tourism's contribution to the UN's sustainable development goals. | 287PEACE AND TOURISM members' behavior that result from war. 3. The estimate that around 108 million people died from war-related causes in the twentieth century is perhaps the starkest evidence of this. 4. The twenty-first century has seen more than 70 million people forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of conflict, violence, human rights violations, and persecution, out of which 21 million are refugees fleeing from conflict-ridden countries. 5. Higher levels of poverty are evident in both war-torn countries and host societies whose social welfare systems and socio-demographic structures are stressed by the influx of newcomers. 6. Given these global realities, peace has quite reasonably been included as a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) in the United Nations' (UN) Agenda 2030. In coining the term "sustainable peace," both the UN General Assembly and Security Council joined conflict settlement with conflict prevention, presenting peace both as an enabler and as an outcome of sustainable development. 7.The SDGs represent a revised version of the failed Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 8. that include seventeen goals and 169 targets which, in combination, form a larger vision for inclusive social and economic development, environmental sustainability, security, and peace. 9. The articulation of wide-ranging intergovernmental aims in the SDGs is a corrective to the shortfalls in the MDGs, expanding the range of goals among developing and developed nations to include poverty alleviation, energy, and health (among others) and by highlighting the pillars of human development, rights, and equity that were not included in the MDGs, 10. the SDGs form the blueprint for a more sustainable future. 11. Within this framework, tourism can support sustainable solutions. 12. Although tourism was not identified as a target...

This article examines how two peace educators in Hiroshima, Japan, expanded their curricular focus and pedagogical methods in the decades following the Second World War. It analyzes how they navigated the intersection of local and global peace education efforts as they developed their approach for engaging with increasing global complexity. The educators highlighted three emergent responses to this complexity over time: diversification of pedagogical strategies to employ participatory approaches inside and outside the classroom, development of broader interdisciplinary curricula with a widening array of peace-related themes, and use of global connectivity to intensify communication, encounter, and feedback among educators and learners in Hiroshima and other areas. This expansion created both tensions and opportunities as educators engaged with local historical memory of the atomic bomb, their nuclear disarmament work, and their growing interest in broader peace education issues. Hiroshima offers insight into pedagogical adaptation in response to global complexity and highlights the need for more robust research that can account for emergent pedagogical developments that take place within and across regional and global educational networks.
