This is as true of tourism as in many other spheres of life – and one cause of differentiation for tourism promotion is the culture of Indigenous Peoples. This offers opportunities for cultural renaissance, income generation and enhanced political empowerment, but equally there are possible costs of creating commodities out of aspects of life that previously possessed spiritual meaning. This book examines these issues from many different perspectives; from those of product design and enhancement; of the aspirations of various minority groupings; and the patterns of displacements that occur – displacements that are not simply spatial but also social and cultural. How can these changes be managed? Case studies and analysis is offered, derived from many parts of the globe including North America, Asia and Australasia. The contributors themselves have, in many instances, worked closely with groups and organizations of Indigenous Peoples and attempt to give voice to their concerns. The book is divided into various themes, each with a separate introduction and commentary. The themes are Visitor Experiences, Who manages Indigenous Cultural Tourism Product, Events and Artifacts, Conceptualisation and Aspiration. In a short final section the silences are noted – each silence representing a potential challenge for future research to build upon the notions and lessons reported in the book. The book is edited by Professor Chris Ryan from New Zealand, and Michelle Aicken of Horwath Asia Pacific. This book is divided into four themes: (1) The visitor experiences of indigenous peoples, (2) Who Manages Indigenous Cultural Tourism Product, (3) Events and Artifacts and lastly (4) Conceptualisation and Aspiration. Within these themes researchers concerned with holidaymakers and the nature and use of tourism product based on the culture of indigenous peoples draw upon direct research findings to explore problems of how indigenous groups seek to exploit and control tourism on their lands. Additionally the themes of obtaining recognition and legitimisation within majority populations are examined. Examples are derived from the USA, Canada, China, Indonesia, Africa, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand, and from within rural and urban settings. The book offers not simply description but also analytical observations derived from the social and management sciences. To that end each section is introduced by a commentary that both identifies themes derived from the contributions and provides an integrative approach to the problems being addressed. The contributors include Jeremy Huyton, Sanjay Nepal, Jeremy Buultjens, Joseph Mbaiwa, Takayoshi Yamamura and Alison McIntosh. Their joint experiences include park management, museums, interpretation centres, community action and tourism planning - all of which inform this insightful book.
