In an era where tourism often risks eroding indigenous cultures, this compelling volume presents a transformative perspective—one where Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) shape sustainable, community-driven tourism models. This book brings together insightful research on how traditional wisdom can enhance livelihoods, foster rural development, and promote ethical tourism practices.

With contributions from scholars, policymakers, and industry experts, the book explores the integration of IKS in tourism frameworks, offering case studies, policy recommendations, and innovative approaches to responsible tourism. It is an essential resource for academicians, tourism professionals, and community leaders committed to creating equitable and culturally respectful tourism landscapes.

A must-read for anyone passionate about sustainable tourism, indigenous empowerment, and the future of ethical travel.
