Thought Leadership on Tourism, Resilience, and Sustainability in the 21st Century - Paperback

by Edmund Bartlett (Author)

Tourism has long been hailed as a powerful tool for economic development, cultural exchange, and environmental conservation. The allure of pristine beaches, diverse marine life, and vibrant cultures draws millions of travellers to coastal destinations each year. Yet, the very success of the tourism industry has led to challenges that must be addressed urgently in the face of increasing environmental threats and global uncertainties. Against this background, this book, a compilation of essays on various aspects of tourism, delves into the multifaceted aspects of fostering resilience within the tourism sector and explores current trends in tourism, resilience, and sustainability amid global change and innovation. The tourist ecology is especially explored against the backdrop of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which undoubtedly served as a catalyst of change in our usual approach to varied aspects of life, including the tourism sector.
