Summary

Palestinian guides in Jerusalem's Old City strategically employ 'political detouring' during guided tours to expose tourists to the injustices of Israeli occupation. By altering tour trajectories and narratives, they challenge conventional tourism practices, using movement and discourse to highlight Palestinian instability. The study reveals how these guides manipulate the dynamic nature of tours to foster solidarity while reflecting on its transformative potential and limitations.
