As a result of these changes, local popula tions and minorities are becoming active participants in the tourism indust ry of their own countries. This shift is affecting their self-identities an d their economic situation, especially because they are experiencing increa sed contact and interaction with domestic and international visitors.\nFoll owing the Oriental exploration that was predominant in the 20th century, na ture, eco-tourism, and sustainability have emerged as major trends in inter national tourism. While regional and national identities play a significant role in the development of domestic tourism, it is also essential to ackno wledge that the relationship goes both ways: the tourism industry has a con siderable impact on the natural environment and on local communities. Furth ermore, the representations of non-indigenous minorities, such as the queer communities of certain destinations, are also implicated in tourism’s ebbs and flows. Therefore, a state of transition and evolution becomes visibly evident in the tourism experience among communities throughout the region.\ nThrough papers on ethnic representation, cultural symbolism, and indigenou s lifeworlds, and minority participation, this panel will discuss a series of contemporary cases of tourism in Southeast Asia—Vietnam, Thailand, the P hilippines, and Indonesia—to reveal how the identity paradigm shift occurs in each nation and how minority communities in the region respond to it.
