    Regenerating tourism and regenerating people: how tourism is achieving justice for Indigenous youths
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2025-09-18) Scheyvens R; Kaire-Gataulu T; Coghlan A
    In 2023 a novel Indigenous tourism venture was launched. This initiative, Native Nations–Tracing Indigenous Footsteps, offers a culturally immersive overseas exchange programme for Indigenous youths. It seeks to build solidarity, uplift youths, offer emancipatory tourism experiences, heal injustice, and reconnect them to sources of their strength and identity. As such, it offers an alternative approach and ethos to dominant approaches to tourism development. This paper examines the experience and outcomes of the first Native Nations exchange which involved a group of Aotearoa New Zealand Māori youths and a group of Australian Aboriginal youths. It frames this in the context of literature on justice tourism, Indigenous tourism, and regenerative tourism. Advocates of these approaches, variously, aim to restore people and environments through tourism experiences, to build solidarity between visitors and the visited, and to uphold Indigenous cultures and values. The research finds, firstly, that we need more focus on Indigenous people as tourists, and secondly, that regenerative tourism could have more transformative impacts if it explicitly incorporated tourism as justice, focusing attention on regenerating people who are often excluded from tourism’s benefits.

    Taking (anti-)‘woke’ seriously: the future of development cooperation and humanitarian aid
    (John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of ODI Global, 2025-08-21) Mawdsley E; Banks G; Sanyu C; Scheyvens R; Overton J
    Purpose This article examines the Trump administration’s ‘war on woke’ as a key narrative in dismantling USAID in early 2025, arguing that its cultural framing is politically significant alongside material and geopolitical impacts. Approach Drawing on Project 2025 and a Lonsdale and Black blog as examples, we explore how ‘woke’ is cast as a threat to US values and interests. Findings Cuts disproportionately harm women, children, and marginalised groups, while emboldening conservative actors globally. Anti-‘woke’ narratives gain traction from inequalities produced by neoliberal globalisation; liberal aid arguments have lost voter appeal. Reclaiming ‘woke’ in its original sense offers opportunities for justice-based development approaches. Value Foregrounding the cultural politics of aid, we call for structurally oriented, globally connected solidarity that engages alienated domestic constituencies and addresses racialised inequalities in North and South.

    Making tourism geographies: a tribute to Alan A. Lew’s lifework
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2025-08-22) Gibson C; Gillen J; Ioannides D; Molz JG; Saarinen J; Scheyvens R; Mostafanezhad M
    This collection of responses to Alan Lew’s Citation2024 American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting Special Lecture in Honolulu, Hawai’i, Why Travel? (Lew, Citation2024), reflects his enduring influence on the field of tourism geographies and its growth as a vibrant community of practice. As the founding Editor-in-Chief of Tourism Geographies, Alan pioneered an inclusive, interdisciplinary vision for the field, shaping its trajectory for decades. Tracing his intellectual journey—rooted in a multicultural background and enriched by international experiences—Alan illuminates the deep interconnections between place, identity, and consciousness through the study of tourism. Authored by leading scholars in the field,Footnote1 the contributions in this collection respond to Why Travel? (Lew, Citation2024), celebrating both Alan’s legacy and the evolution of a paradigm—one in which tourism geography is expansive, critically self-reflexive, ethically grounded, and methodologically diverse. Rather than seeking a definitive answer, Alan’s enduring question—Why travel?—invites reflection on mobility, place, and purpose within an increasingly entangled world. This collection of responses stands as a tribute to Alan A. Lew—whose vision, generosity, and intellectual spirit continue to inspire new generations of scholars exploring the geographies of tourism.

    Challenges to Empowerment of Women through Value Chains: The Need to Move from Individual to Relational Empowerment
    (John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Institute of Social Studies, 2024-09-18) Nguyen P; Scheyvens R; Beban A; Gardyne S
    This article examines the prevailing assumption by donors that connecting smallholder women to value chains will close the gender gap and empower women. Based on a case study of a programme that seeks to empower women through their integration into value chains in Vietnam, the article assesses women's empowerment across four dimensions: economic, psychological, social and political. The authors argue that women's engagement in value chains does not always financially benefit and empower women because patriarchal power structures within families, communities and businesses make it challenging for women to gain authority over production decisions in higher-value crops. Women in the study gained more autonomy over ‘women's crops’ which yielded small incomes, while men had control over production that was seen as ‘men's work’, and in large-scale and more lucrative production. Gendered power relations affect women's access to economic opportunities: in this context, development agencies should reconsider their approaches to women's economic empowerment by focusing on relational rather than individual empowerment. This means that women's economic empowerment programmes should involve both men and women, with targeted interventions ensuring women are empowered within the household and in their connections with the community, local authorities and businesses.
