This book examines the emerging and shifting issues in the field of gay tourism, how these relate to significant societal and technological changes and the implications of these changes for theory, policy and practice. It addresses the political and sociocultural discourses evident within gay tourism consumption and explores the conceptualisations of gay tourism within the contexts of tourist profiles and identities. While gay travel research has been dominated by Western perspectives and traditions, this book incorporates voices from non-Western perspectives and cultures. The volume investigates the value of gay tourism that facilitates our engagement with tourism experiences, leisure opportunities and pleasure. It will be a useful resource for students, lecturers and researchers in tourism, human geography, cultural studies and sociology.

Industry Reviews
A highly perceptive exploration of the complex and contested intersections of travel and tourism with sexualities and genders by both established and emerging scholars. This important book draws on a wide range of theoretical frameworks to critically explore and understand the complexities of contemporary LGBT travel and tourism to produce a truly international and insightful collection.
