The aim of this article is to develop the concept of ethical tourism action and its implications for the tourism curriculum. The approach is as follows. First, the idea of ethical tourism action is reviewed.
Next, different types of ethical tourism actions are proposed and their different epistemologies explored. The concept of 'knowing-in-ethical-tourism-action' is developed with particular reference to Schn's
reflective practitioner, Aristotle's idea of practical wisdom and Habermas's theory of communicative reason. Finally the elements of an ethical tourism practicum are propounded as a practical curriculum
response to the theoretical implications of the article.
