| Reconciliation
Tourism: Tourism Healing Divided Societies!

This article provides a preliminary examination
of the capacity of Aboriginal tourism experiences to contribute
to the achievement of reconciliation in Australia. This
analysis situates reconciliation tourism as special type
of volunteer tourism and places both of these under the
umbrella of tourism as a force for peace; it begins by
exploring the foundations for the concept of tourism as
a force for peace and understanding as seen in international
documents, institutions, case studies and tourism research.
The focus then moves to Aboriginal tourism in Australia
and the current status of the reconciliation movement.
The experience of the Ngarrindjeri community of South
Australia through their tourism and educational facility,
Camp Coorong Race Relations and Cultural Education Centre,
is then utilised for a case study of reconciliation tourism.
This analysis is then followed by a look to the future
of reconciliation tourism in Australia and an outline
of possible future research agendas in reconciliation
tourism.
