Contemporary tourism is in crisis. This fascinating collection introduces the nature and extent of that crisis, exploring a variety of issues and challenges, from climate change to destination management, and proposing potential responses to those challenges. Timely and cutting-edge, it is essential reading for anyone with a concern for a more sustainable future for tourism.
Richard Sharpley, Emeritus Professor of Tourism, University of Central Lancashire, UK
This book is a very valuable resource for anyone dissatisfied with the current state of the sector and its lack of willingness or ability to confront today's polycrisis. Nothing short of transformation is needed – a core thread throughout this collection.
Susanne Becken, Griffith University, Australia
This is a must read for anyone interested in tourism futures, possible, probable or preferable. Contributions by leading scholars explore the extent of possible futures shaped by factors such as the role of social media, adhering to ethical guidelines, with probable futures shaped by regenerative practice, but where preferable futures will require complex tourism systems change and effective climate change action to enable the transformation of tourism
Stephen Boyd, Ulster University, UK
