Abstract

In practice, the distinctions between tourism and migration are blurred. Tourism often drives various forms of mobility, and an international workforce is central to maintaining functioning tourism economies. This piece sketches out some critical themes and issues concerning intersections of tourism and migration, considering their relationships with and impacts on social sustainability. It highlights the contradictory ways in which tourism and migration are approached as political, social and economic phenomena. Whereas tourism is often viewed more positively, migration is recurrently politicised, and seen to challenge social systems and cultural values, despite the reliance of tourism on migrant labour. The discussion outlines the relevance of social sustainability to studies of migration and tourism. These include the need to assess how tourism planning, development and governance of tourism impacts on the sustainability of communities, which consequently influences attitudes towards migrants and tourists. It also reflects on how migrant-local connections may evolve, creating opportunities for positive, symbiotic co-existence, alongside exploitative relationships. It concludes by inviting further studies examining new forms and interactions between migration and tourism, which considers how research can contribute to greater social sustainability.

摘要

在实践中，旅游和移民之间的区别是模糊的。旅游业通常会推动各种形式的流动性，而国际劳动力对于维持正常的旅游经济至关重要。这篇文章概述了一些关于旅游和移民交叉点的关键主题和问题，考虑到它们与社会可持续性的关系和对社会可持续性的影响。它强调了将旅游和移民视为政治、社会和经济现象的矛盾方式。尽管旅游业经常被视为更积极，但移民经常被政治化，并被视为挑战社会制度和文化价值观，尽管旅游业依赖移民劳工。讨论概述了社会可持续性与移民和旅游业研究的相关性。其中包括需要评估旅游规划、发展和旅游管理如何影响社区的可持续性，从而影响对移民和游客的态度。它还反映了移民与当地的联系如何演变，为积极的共生共存创造机会，以及剥削关系。最后，它邀请进一步研究移民与旅游业之间的新形式和相互作用，考虑研究如何促进更大的社会可持续性。除了剥削关系。最后，它邀请进一步研究移民与旅游业之间的新形式和相互作用，考虑研究如何促进更大的社会可持续性。除了剥削关系。最后，它邀请进一步研究移民与旅游业之间的新形式和相互作用，考虑研究如何促进更大的社会可持续性。
