Abstract

Abstract The international attitude based on the ‘War on Drugs’, adopted by the United Nations in the second half of the twentieth century contributed to a situation where the debates related to drug issues were mostly concentrated in the spheres of biomedical sciences and public security. With the numerous transformations in relation to drug policies in several countries in the contemporary world, it was evident that tourism could play an important role with the emergence of the so-called ‘drug tourism’. In most cases, these changes were mainly related to cannabis, and in some regions where its recreational use has already been regulated, it was possible to notice significant reflexes in the tourist dynamics of these destinations, intensifying the role of cannabis tourism, a relevant sub-segment of drug tourism. The main purpose of this article was to contribute to the construction of fundamental theoretical and conceptual bases for a critical and scientific approach to this new topic by presenting a general overview on drug tourism; reflections and purposes on drug tourism concept; the main destinations already consolidated and; brief cannabis tourism case studies. Finally, inferences were made about future challenges of this tourism segment, which presents great prospects in the global scenario.
反思毒品旅游及其未来的挑战
联合国在20世纪下半叶采取的以“向毒品宣战”为基础的国际态度,导致与毒品问题有关的辩论主要集中在生物医学科学和公共安全领域。随着当代世界几个国家在毒品政策方面的许多转变,显然,随着所谓“毒品旅游”的出现,旅游业可以发挥重要作用。在大多数情况下,这些变化主要与大麻有关,在一些已经管制其娱乐用途的区域,可以注意到这些目的地的旅游动态发生了重大变化,加强了大麻旅游的作用,这是毒品旅游的一个相关子部分。本文的主要目的是通过对毒品旅游的总体概述,为批判性和科学地对待这一新主题建立基本的理论和概念基础;关于毒品旅游概念的思考与目的主要目的地已经合并和;简要的大麻旅游案例研究。最后,对该旅游板块未来面临的挑战进行了推断,该板块在全球前景广阔。
