Emerging in the first half of the 20th century in Europe, linked to the public policies of the welfare state, social tourism – understood here as all actions, initiatives, policies, and practices aimed at democratizing access to tourism – has developed in different forms around the world, taking on different configurations and reaching different audiences depending on the characteristics of the various countries where it has developed (Bélanger et al., 2007; Almeida, 2011; Schenkel, 2013).

Authors should forward a manuscript written in French or English and presented according to the journal’s rules.

In a global context of many challenges – social, political, economic, and environmental – the very concept of social tourism merits in-depth reflection. Considering the repercussions of phenomena such as the advance of neoliberalism, the crisis of associationism, the emergence of extremist political parties around the world, or the consequences of global warming on access to tourism and social tourism practices, we can ask ourselves

  • How are social tourism practices currently emerging around the world?
  • What are the prospects for democratizing access to tourism?
  • What are the possible repercussions of movements in favour of shorter working hours on social tourism operators?
  • To what extent can this democratization represent a risk for territories already suffocated by mass tourism and/or for the environment in a context of climate change?
  • By focusing on local tourism, what impact does social tourism have on the localities that receive it?
  • To what extent can tourism (and social tourism, more specifically) – as an expression of leisure – be considered a right?
  • How can we guarantee such a right, if tourism can be seen in this light, in the face of the challenges that characterize the contemporary world?
  • What changes has the COVID-19 pandemic brought to social tourism constituencies and initiatives?
  • What interfaces between governments, private companies, and social economy organizations can be harnessed to promote social tourism?
  • How can the countries of the Global South strengthen their social tourism initiatives, which are generally modest, in the face of the other challenges facing their populations?
