Summary:

"Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in each area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This highly relevant Research Agenda discusses the future of tourism in an ever-changing world. Reflecting on diverse challenges faced by the tourism industry in recent decades, it emphasizes the importance of creating a shared agenda and fostering resilience in the years to come. Leading experts in the field evaluate the ongoing impact of recent ecological disasters, overtourism, war, and the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing differences in crisis responses of countries across the globe. Drawing on a wide range of in-depth case studies, chapters rethink dominant paradigms in risk management and explore new opportunities presented by digital technologies, sustainability, and rational planning. Ultimately, the Research Agenda underscores the need for resilience and adaptation at this critical stage in tourism development, focusing on the mitigation, rather than the prevention, of harmful effects in an uncertain world. Providing cutting-edge insights into the future of tourism and risk, this timely Research Agenda is an invaluable resource for students and scholars in tourism, human geography, development studies, business and management, and environmental studies. It will also benefit policy makers and professionals seeking novel ways to manage risk in the tourism industry"-- Provided by publisher.
