Every society is affected by social inequality and consequently it should be in the interests of all to address this topic, since it is not only a danger for the individual but also for the social fabric as a whole. Tourism on the other hand is one of the most important economic sectors and, therefore, an enormous power factor. This power also influences and contributes in certain ways to social inequality, and thus a move towards a responsible tourism is needed. In this Bachelor Thesis the goal is to analyse the elements needed for a responsible tourism that could support integration. As a research site the railway station Basel SBB was chosen, since it is an interface between tourism and marginalisation, and a site at which a conflict between these two parties occurred a few years ago. The methodological approach is based on interviews with experts and on observations at places where marginalised people spend their time. M3 - Bachelorarbeit Tourismus M4 - Citavi ER -
