Tourism and Community Well-Being in the Tropics
Scholarship Description
Tourism is often promoted as a development tool and way to improve the quality of life of communities and regions in the Tropics. But the available evidence suggest that overall benefits of tourism can be slow to emerge, modest at best, restricted to certain groups and often eroded by negative impacts. Research is needed to both critically evaluate current tourism forms and processes and to guide better approaches into the future. This PhD project will explore tourism and its relationships with potential contributions to community well-being. The project will build upon the expertise available in tourism and community research in the Cairns Institute at James Cook University. Applications for the scholarship are sought from qualified candidates with a background in tourism or a relevant disciplinary area.
