Research by EDST Professor Jo-Anne Dillabough was featured in UBC Reports, vol. 5 no. 3. Heather Amos wrote an article about Professor Dillabough’s research on how tourism impacts local communities:
“Dillabough studies the global tourist industry, where tourism develops from outside of a country and investors, such as a large North American hotel chains, can gain financial success with little benefit for the people who live there. This work emerged out of some earlier research on male youth subcultures, which Dillabough made into a book, Lost Youth Culture in the Global City: Class, Culture and the Urban Imaginary.
Today, she looks at how the global tourist industry has changed the dynamic of local communities in Morocco and what this means for the young boys growing up in the area.”
