Animals, food and tourism

Regardless of whether tourists travel with a primary motivation for experiencing food, they do eat during their trip.

The condition of inputs that go into the making of their meals - the soil and water, the workers, and the animals elevate the eating of food while traveling to a moral act.

This book examines the ethics of defining, treating, and commodifying animals as a source of food within the context of tourism.

The chapters examine animal welfare and tourism, animal welfare and food production, and ethical consumption, exploring topics such as raising, farming, harvesting, marketing of animals and the links between consuming animals and environmental concerns.
