Sustainable Tourism Dialogues in Africa links tourism theory, trends and practice to the SDGs, by highlighting the socio-political processes in African destinations that shape responsibilities of managing SDG impacts. These dialogues reflect examples of key destination actors’ attempts and (or) efforts to reorganize and adapt to changes, to bring transformative impacts to communities benchmarked on SDG targets.

In the United States, seasonal tourism destinations have become increasingly reliant on international guest workers arriving on both the J-1 and H-2B visa. The book provides a link between macro political, economic and socio-cultural factors and consequences associated with this phenomenon from the perspective of local places, employers, workers and their advocates. Topics include housing shortages, labor market shifts, and precarious work.
