Peace Tourism A world without war


Peace tourism is one of the new concepts in the tourism industry that you may have heard less about. In this article, we want to tell you what peace tourism is and give you a definition of this phrase.

What is peace tourism?

Peace tourism is not a new type of tourism and does not mean traveling in a specific way. This concept refers to the use of tourism to reduce situations where violence and conflict are likely to occur. In fact, this type of tourism seeks to develop society and achieve peace through the tourism industry.


How does tourism help increase peace?

In order to gain an understanding of the impact of tourism on increasing peace, we need to look at it from the following dimensions:

Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world and is a good source of currency for many developing countries. This industry has been able to play a significant role in reducing unemployment, economic growth, and cultural exchange. Tourism fills economic gaps by improving the economic situation of communities and brings about significant changes through cultural exchange. Therefore, it can affect the level of violence in societies in the long run. People get to know new people, cultures, and values ​​by traveling around the world. On the one hand, they achieve mutual understanding with the indigenous community, and on the other hand, they bring a lot of political and economic benefits to the host community. As a result, the guest and the host are in a peaceful relationship. People in the community have common values, and some religious and cultural sites are very important to them. This importance causes people to gather in different places. For example, they travel to Mashhad from different parts of Iran and visit Imam Reza, and many people spend time visiting Persepolis. The interaction that occurs during the pilgrimage and visit creates a kind of empathy and is gradually formed in the peace of the communities. Tourism can be considered as a complement to political relations. This industry strengthens people's knowledge of the culture of society and improves international relations and the crossing of ethnic, racial and regional borders. So there is peace between nations. Tourism infrastructure is beneficial not only for tourists but also for local people. People use the transportation, electricity and other networks, which have been improved to attract tourists.

Does peace tourism prevent war and violence?

We must pay attention to the fact that tourism does not create peace and is only a peaceful industry. If we consider tourism as a factor for creating peace, this industry should be able to establish peace in war zones; While this never happens. Peace tourism is not meant to be a judge, a ceasefire announcer or a warning.

The industry is affecting communities in the long run and can be seen as a new way to reduce the risks of war and conflict, especially in developing countries.
