International Relations and Tourism

International relations and tourism mesh across areas (political, economic, and sociocultural), issues (intercultural understanding, travel security, democracy development, and environmental protection), and stakeholders (tourists, destinations, hosts, employees, businesses, governments, countries in different stages of development, nongovernmental organizations, and multinational companies). Stakeholders can be private, public, or business groups (travelers, organizations, or corporations). Their relationships develop in the context of globalization, borders, and their possible contributions to world peace.
