Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.

This highly prescient Research Agenda critically examines the delicate intersection of peace and tourism and proposes further research in order to explore how tourism may contribute to peace or, conversely, hinder the peacebuilding efforts of destinations in conflict.

Anna Farmaki brings together a wealth of expertise from scholars who present the peace and tourism nexus from a variety of different perspectives, using both empirical evidence and conceptual research to support cases. Chapters discuss tourism as a peace-builder, the acceptance of dark tourism, a gender approach to peace through tourism, and corporate social responsibility as a contributor to peace in conflict-ridden situations. This innovative and forward-thinking Research Agenda provides a vital contribution to this burgeoning area of research, carrying implications for local communities, tourist destinations and wider society at large in conjunction with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

Providing a much-needed re-examination of the connection between peace and tourism, this book will prove essential reading for students, academics and researchers interested in human geography, political geography and geopolitics, tourism management and business and management. Considering many practical outcomes of tourism policy, this book will also benefit professionals working in tourism, foreign policy, public policy and international relations.

Edited by Anna Farmaki, Assistant Professor, Department of Tourism Management and Hospitality, Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus
