Elephant tourism is a growing activity in many countries across Asia and Africa and is popular with tourists from all parts of the world. Elephant tourism has grown rapidly, providing the only viable way for elephants and their owners to survive since the banning of logging. Old logging camps have been developed into sanctuaries for some elephants, but many other camps were established as entertainment centres, resulting in serious welfare issues for the elephants and their mahouts. The profits from elephant tourism in Asia have encouraged African operators to follow a similar business model. This book draws attention to the need for a comprehensive and rigorous focus on local solutions to improve the welfare of captive elephants, their mahouts and local residents, and to enhance tourists' experiences of elephant tourism.

Due to the diverse forms of interaction between humans and animals, particularly in tourism settings, it is no surprise that there has been growing scholarship evaluating its intersection (Cohen, 2009; Fennell, 2012 a,b,c, 2013, 2014, 2015). In recent decades, social science researchers have begun to take up these intersections via tourist experiences encountering wildlife (Markwell, 2015) with a critical subtheme of captive animals as visitor attractions. Informed by eco-feminist philosophy, a case study of elephant-based voluntourism in Thailand is the focus in this scholarship. The purpose of this qualitative research was to understand volunteer tourist perspectives of captive elephant tourism in Thailand. Objectives of this research were to interpret stories and meanings of elephant welfare held by volunteer tourists and assess the potential of volunteer tourism to aid in the improvement of captive elephant welfare. Stories were weaved using tenets of narrative analysis (Glover, 2003; Polkinghorne, 1995) oriented through an eco-feminist lens. Interview data revealed that the process of engagement in elephant welfare and volunteering has resulted in participants feeling a moral responsibility to continue forms of advocacy. The data provides context from which to analyze and think critically about care and welfare and how these pieces may interact to influence the operative nature of tourism enterprises and the wellbeing of captive elephants.

"The Clouded Side of Elephant The travel industry: Tending to Government assistance Concerns" is a strong investigation of the moral mess encompassing the thriving business of elephant the travel industry. With elephants customarily worshipped and profoundly implanted in different societies, their change from adored images to commodified attractions brings up significant issues about government assistance and moral treatment. This astute work dives into the authentic development of elephant the travel industry, following the underlying foundations of its fame and the resulting influence on these great animals. From social importance to financial drivers, the book carefully looks at the powers adding to the double-dealing of elephants for the travel industry purposes. The core of the story lies in figuring out the knowledge and regular ways of behaving of elephants, both in the wild and in bondage. The mental cost of imprisonment on these profoundly astute creatures is investigated, uncovering the conspicuous difference between their normal territories and the frequently binding states of vacationer arranged offices. Through convincing contextual investigations from prestigious traveler objections like Thailand, India, and Africa, the book divulges explicit occasions of government assistance infringement. It takes a gander at a basic eye on the job of nearby legislatures and guidelines, scrutinizing their viability in defending the prosperity of these delicate monsters. Moral difficulties are disentangled, convincing perusers to defy the ethical ramifications of their decisions as vacationers. The obligation of travel services and visit administrators in advancing moral the travel industry rehearses is examined, moving the business to focus on government assistance over benefit. In the midst of the obscurity, the book offers a promising sign by featuring effective preservation endeavors and models of capable elephant the travel industry. It advocates for a change in outlook towards safe-havens, local area based drives, and capable travel rehearses. The legitimate system overseeing elephant the travel industry is examined, with a call for more grounded securities and a reexamination of existing regulations.

The role of governance has only recently begun to be researched and discussed in order to better understand tourism policy making and planning, and tourism development. Governance encompasses the many ways in which societies and industries are governed, given permission or assistance, or steered by government and numerous other actors, including the private sector, NGOs and communities. This book explains and evaluates critical perspectives on the governance of tourism, examining these in the context of tourism and sustainable development. Governance processes fundamentally affect whether – and how – progress is made toward securing the economic, socio-cultural and environmental goals of sustainable development. The critical perspectives on tourism governance, examined here, challenge and re-conceptualise established ideas in tourism policy and planning, as well as engage with theoretical frameworks from other social science fields. The contributors assess theoretical frameworks that help explain the governance of tourism and sustainability. They also explore tourism governance at national, regional and local scales, and the relations between them. They assess issues of power and politics in policy making and planning, and they consider changing governance relationships over time and the associated potential for social learning. The collection brings insights from leading researchers, and examines important new theoretical frameworks for tourism research. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

A study of elephant tourism in Nepal from its origins in the 1960s to the present day, this book examines the challenges faced by captive elephants. Used as human conveyance, on anti-poaching patrol teams, as rescue vehicles, and in forestry service, elephants have worked with and for humans for hundreds of years. However, the use of elephants in tourism is a fairly new development within Nepal. Because the health and welfare of tourism elephants is vital to the conservation of wild individuals, this book offers an assessment of captive elephant needs and an examination of their existing welfare statuses. This book seeks to examine the motivations of these NGOs and INGOs, and to consider their ethical approaches to elephant health and welfare. Are the motivations of these organizations similar enough to work together towards a common goal, or are their ethical norms so different that they get in one another's way? Using an ordinary language and ethics framework, this text aims to identify the norms of cultures and organisations and reframe them in ways which may allow for more successful interactions.
