Description
The global tourism industry has reached a critical turning point. Climate change, geopolitical instability and the rapid rise of AI are dismantling long-held certainties and demanding a fundamental paradigm shift. This book closes the gap between academic theory, teaching and industry practice, bringing together visionary solutions from members of the International Competence Network of Tourism Research and Education (ICNT).
- Discover how the emerging paradigm of regenerative tourism goes beyond minimising harm to actively restoring ecosystems and strengthening social structures.
- Explore innovative approaches such as scenario planning and Delphi studies to navigate uncertainty and reimagine the destinations of tomorrow.
- Engage with transformative pedagogical strategies that equip the next generation with the resilience and critical thinking required in a disruptive world.
An essential guide for academics, practitioners and policymakers who choose to actively and responsibly shape the future of global tourism.
