On this episode, our guest is Dr Ivan Murray Mas, an activist, author, and Associate Lecturer at the University of the Balearic Islands. He is a father, a former fisherman, and a contributor and editor of many books, the most recent of which include "Tourism and Degrowth: Towards a Truly Sustainable Tourism," and "#TourismPostCOVID19: Lockdown Touristification." Here, we'll explore the latter, "Lockdown Touristification," and discuss the themes that Ivan and Ernest Canada have written about, including the role of tourism in laying the groundwork for the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the impact of business travel in that spread, the countless jobs lost from the pandemic, and the precarious and predatory return of the tourism industry in a post-pandemic world.Ivan holds a (Master of Science) in Environmental Sustainability from the University of Edinburgh and a PhD in Human Geography from the University of the Balearic Islands. He is involved with various social movements and collectives in the Balearic Islands, including GOB (Balearic Ornithological Group), Tot Inclos, and Alba Sud.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Alba Sud: http://www.albasud.org/#TourismPostCOVID19: Lockdown Touristification: http://www.albasud.org/publicacion/en/103/tourismpostcovid19-lockdown-touristificationGoogle Scholar: http://scholar.google.es/citations?user=K1vtUroAAAAJ&hl=en-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Discover more episodes and join the conversation: http://www.theendoftourism.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter @theendoftourismJoin the Conspiracy!
