Abstract

Purpose

This viewpoint engages with Jem Bendell’s deep adaptation framework which was developed as a response to the threat of collapse. Proponents of deep adaptation argue that societal collapse is either likely, inevitable or already underway. The deep adaptation framework is employed as a tool to contemplate the necessary adaptation of tourism development and planning in a context of polycrisis leading to collapse.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a conceptual viewpoint article that is built on deductive analysis of recent events, reports and scientific findings. It employs the deep adaptation framework to analyse possible alternative tourism futures in the face of the threat of collapse.

Findings

Bendell’s framework included four aspects of response to the recognition of the threat of collapse: resilience, relinquishment, restoration and reconciliation. In this work, the deep adaptation framework is employed to analyse what a deep adaptation approach to tourism might offer for efforts in securing optimal social and ecological outcomes. Findings highlight damaging activities that we should relinquish, more resilient approaches that communities could encourage and restorative practices such as rewilding and pluriversal economies as protective measures. This work recommends a precautionary approach to transform tourism education, research and practice in order to secure better tourism futures.

Originality/value

This work is novel in engaging with the threat of future collapse and in using the deep adaptation framework to consider alternative tourism futures.

旅游业的终结?对崩溃的思考
目的 本观点涉及杰姆-本德尔(Jem Bendell)的深度适应框架,该框架是为应对崩溃威胁而提出的。深度适应的支持者认为,社会崩溃要么可能发生,要么不可避免,要么已经在发生。深度适应框架被用作一种工具,用于思考在导致崩溃的多重危机背景下,旅游业发展和规划的必要适应。文章采用深度适应框架,分析了在面临崩溃威胁时可能出现的其他旅游业前景。研究结果本德尔的框架包括对崩溃威胁认识的四个方面:恢复力、放弃、恢复和和解。在这项工作中,我们采用了深度适应框架来分析旅游业的深度适应方法可为确保最佳社会和生态成果提供哪些帮助。研究结果强调了我们应该放弃的破坏性活动、社区可以鼓励的更具复原力的方法以及作为保护措施的野化和多元经济等恢复性实践。这项研究建议采用预防性方法来改变旅游业的教育、研究和实践,以确保旅游业有更好的未来。 原创性/价值这项研究的新颖之处在于,它涉及未来崩溃的威胁,并使用深度适应框架来考虑旅游业的替代未来。
