Exploited Elephants and Pampered Pets: Reflecting on Tourism-Animal Relationships --; Index; restricted access; Issued also in print N2 - This book critically examines the many ways in which tourism and animals intersect, whether as tourist attractions, wildlife conservation tools, as travel companions or as meat to be eaten. It aims to make a meaningful contribution to the growing body of knowledge concerning the relationships between animals, tourists and the tourism industry. The chapters are organised into three themes: ethics and welfare; conflict, contradiction and contestation; and shifting relationships. Theoretically informed and empirically rich, the chapters examine topics such as whale watching, animal performances, the objectification and commodification of animals and stakeholder conflict among a range of others. It is hoped that the book will help to highlight key research questions and stimulate other researchers and students to reflect critically on the place of animals within tourism spaces, experiences, practices and structures.   UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781845415051 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781845415051 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9781845415051.jpg ER -
