TOURISM
This section
presents tourism articles in a developmental and environmental
context, the bi-monthly bulletin Southeast Asia Tourism Monitor
that monitors tourism development in Southeast Asia, as well
as tourism-related statements and action alerts. It focuses
on tourism issues affecting local communities and the natural
environment and highlights voices who usually have little opportunity
to influence policy-making structures.

"Campaigners
from across the globe have come together to fight so-called
‘airport city’ or ‘aerotropolis’ schemes, which have been
spreading rapidly worldwide in recent years. Environmental
and climate justice campaigners, aviation and tourism critics,
human rights activists, and other concerned citizens and
groups have formed the Global Anti-Aerotropolis Movement
(GAAM) to raise public awareness and take action on socially
and ecologically harmful mega-airport development projects.
