Abstract
After briefly examining tourism and injustice and how the discrepancies in wealth, power and status are particularly apparent in tourism encounters, this chapter assesses the potential for justice through tourism. An overview is presented of some examples of tourism being harnessed for justice in the global community. The chapter provides four case studies: tours offered by the human rights group Global Exchange (GX); justice tourism that support Palestinians; the International Solidarity Movement; and the work of a solidarity activist, Rachel Corrie.
