Seventeen qualitative interviews were conducted with LGBTQ+ who had an interest in travel. The findings highlight one's lived experience in India, combined with previous travel experiences, informed unique notions of social, structural and internalised stigma. This in turn contributed to real and perceived travel constraints. Intrapersonal constraints included the need for heightened vigilance, self-blame, and compulsion to fit in. Interpersonal constraints comprised of concerns for safety, bringing dishonour to the travel group, and restrictions/exclusions from accessing services. Finally, structural constraints included gender identification documents and cost.</div><div>Video.

The review identifies four current challenges in the field: (1) an overreliance on specific theories, (2) misrepresentations of modern psychology concepts and theories, (3) a lack of adaptation of psychology theories to tourism, and (4) a lack of research on non-tourist stakeholders.

Our research focuses on taxi drivers' local knowledge and histories. We show how they and other tourism workers offer a source of meanings emanating from local and lived narratives otherwise inaccessible to tourists in enclavic destination zones.
