Abstract

Drawing on qualitative interviews with tour leaders and participants of Australian small group cultural tours to Muslim destinations, this paper explores the hidden ethical dilemmas and other challenges involved in offering cultural advice on Islamic dress norms and identifies a broad spectrum of Western tourists' interpretations of women's veiling. It addresses the gap in the formal study of organised group travel and highlights the crucial role played by outbound tour operators in fostering inter-cultural understanding and social cohesion inside and outside these destinations as long-term outcomes of cultural tourism.
