Prof. Scheyvens on Inclusive Tourism
This interview was recorded during Alba Sud’s Summer School in July 2022 with Regina Scheyvens, Professor and Co-director of the Pacific Research and Policy Centre from the Massey University of New Zealand. Professor Scheyvens has worked intensively on sustainable development of tourism and the empowerment of communities, mainly located in the Pacific. She has more than twenty years of expertise in the field and her work has received international recognition.
This brief interview was conducted by Carla Izcara from Alba Sud. It is following three main questions. First, we asked Scheyvens how she would define inclusive tourism. Next, we try to explore - in a post-pandemic context - whether we were closer or further away from inclusive tourism. To finish, we wanted to know which are the obstacles that prevent us from reaching more inclusive tourism.
