Abstract
This chapter argues that tourism should be included as a social right because it synthesizes and represents the zeitgeist of contemporaneity. This idea is supported by three main arguments: (1) That there is a shift from a work-oriented society to a new consumption-oriented one, implying the revision of the meaning of current practices. (2) As a social force, tourism is a privileged category to represent, understand, and explain contemporary societies because it goes beyond the market and can heuristically express a complex and multifaceted human practice. (3) The references based on the previous societies' ideals, such as the right to work, must be revised and expanded to include tourism as a fundamental right, because (a) it can internationally represent a new kind of global citizenship, (b) basic material and economic human needs must be met for tourism to happen, and (c) it contributes to personal development, cultural exchange, and systemically update societies' development.
