Indigenizing Sustainable Tourism: Empowering Indigenous Voices in Tourism Education
Abstract
Extensive research on sustainability in tourism education emphasizes the importance of evaluating the industry's impact through social, economic, and environmental aspects. Integrating indigenous knowledge systems is essential for achieving true sustainability and decolonizing education. By prioritizing indigenous knowledge, we move beyond Western perspectives and recognize the value of localized methods for preserving cultural and natural heritage. This shift not only elevates the intellectualization of indigenous content but also addresses the broader epistemic violence imposed by colonial educational systems, as is in South Africa, which have long ignored or devalued local knowledge. In line with the objectives of this book, this chapter contributes to the indigenisation of the curriculum in higher education by advocating for the inclusion of indigenous knowledge in the teaching of sustainability in the tourism discipline, focusing on Sustainable tourism.
