Ph.D

Dr Victor Mawutor Agbo is a Ghanaian-born scholar whose research explores decolonial tourism education, ethics, and community justice. As a critical tourism scholar, his research sits at the intersection of decolonial theory, cultural and heritage tourism, community-based tourism, and sustainable development.
