Decolonizing Tourism Discourses: Indigenous Resurgence, Communal Sovereignty, and Sustainable Transformations present a powerful rethinking of how tourism is conceptualized, practiced, and governed across the world. For decades, tourism scholarship and policy have largely been framed through perspectives that prioritize economic growth while often marginalizing Indigenous voices, local knowledge systems, and community rights. This volume challenges those dominant narratives and opens space for more inclusive, ethically grounded, and culturally respectful approaches to tourism development. Bringing together diverse scholarly perspectives, the book examines how Indigenous communities and local collectives are reclaiming authority over their lands, cultural heritage, and tourism futures. It highlights the resurgence of Indigenous epistemologies, community centered governance models, and culturally rooted sustainability practices that reshape tourism beyond extractive or externally imposed frameworks. Through critical analysis and empirical insights, contributors demonstrate how tourism can become a platform for empowerment, cultural revitalization, and equitable development when guided by principles of communal sovereignty and social justice. The volume also engages with pressing global conversations on sustainability, ethics, and representation within tourism studies. By foregrounding Indigenous knowledge and community leadership, it proposes alternative pathways for tourism that respect cultural integrity, environmental stewardship, and local self-determination. Designed for scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and students, this book offers an essential contribution to contemporary debates on tourism transformation and provides a visionary framework for building more just and responsible tourism futures.
