💥 New research just out in TOURISM GEOGRAPHIES. 🌏 Why do tourism stakeholders lack firm political allies in the protected area and public land use debate, and, as such, are often opposed in the political arena?

🚩 Anti-tourism sentiment is often underlined when local residents are locked out of the housing market as rental costs surge as a result of tourism growth and heightened demand for short-term rentals. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
