Abstract

This article discusses the emergence of tourism ethics in tourism studies. It focuses on the contradictions that are expressed in the United Nations World Tourism Organization's (UNWTO) Global Code of Ethics for Tourism (World Tourism Organization 2007[1999]). These contradictions lead to politically contentious issues involving heritage and point to ethical conflict for anthropologists who study tourism and, particularly, for those who are involved in tourism development projects.
