TOURISM IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST AND FASTEST GROWING INDUSTRIES. THIS CONSTANTLY EXPANDING GROUP OF TOURISTS OF THE PAST FEW YEARS GOES HAND IN HAND WITH AN INCREASING DIVERSIFICATION. NEW FORMS OF TOURISM ARISE DAILY AND, ALTHOUGH SLUM TOURISM SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THESE NEW TOURIST ATTRACTIONS, IT CAME INTO EXISTENCE QUIET SOME TIME AGO. AS THERE ARE VARIOUS WAYS TO APPROACH SLUM TOURISM, THIS MASTER THESIS AIMS TO RECOLLECT THESE DIFFERENT VIEWS IN A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A GLOBAL VIEW OF THIS CULTURAL PRACTICE AND TO GET AN INSIGHT IN THE COMPLEX NATURE OF SLUM TOURISM WITHIN THE CULTURAL, LEISURE AND TOURISM STUDIES. THIS STUDY STARTS FROM A BROADER PERSPECTIVE OF TOURISM TO GRADUALLY END WITH AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF SLUM TOURISM.
