Tourism Innovation in Spain and Portugal: New Trends and Developments (Tourism, Hospitality & Event Management)
by João Leitão Vanessa Ratten Vitor BragaTourism is one of the sectors that have undergone substantial change for several decades and in particular due to the restrictions and change in national and international policies since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. This book focuses on how tourism has been innovative, especially in light of these changes, by providing new and novel ways of introducing change into the marketplace. The book focuses on Spain and Portugal, thereby offering an interesting perspective as to how the Iberian Peninsula has adapted based on the new market conditions. This book is the first to focus specifically on these countries and offers an economic geography perspective on tourism innovation.

Tourism Innovation in the Digital Era: Big Data, AI and Technological Transformation (New Perspectives in Tourism and Hospitality Management)
by Marco ValeriDigitalization and artificial intelligence are increasingly influencing modes of travel planning, exploration of new destinations, and promotion of them. The potential of new technologies to completely overhaul the tourism and hospitality industry is emerging; new generations of tourists will have radically different expectations and requirements in relation to today's tourists. The sharing economy and the experience economy strongly influence the creation of new business models in tourism. Many low-income economies can potentially benefit from this digital transformation and others are at risk of being left behind if they fail to embrace this moment. To explore how and why, ten chapters are presented here in Tourism Innovation in the Digital Era, ranging from topics as diverse as big data analytics in tourism marketing to the impact of AI to the use of CSR in competitiveness amongst hotel groups. Providing multidisciplinary approaches, readers will learn more about the organizational impacts of digitalization and artificial intelligence in tourism and hospitality. The book series New Perspectives in Tourism and Hospitality Management positions organizational change and behavior in the tourism and hospitality sector at its heart, providing interdisciplinary research in this field and joining the areas of organizational studies and tourism/hospitality management.

Tourism, Knowledge and Learning (Routledge Insights in Tourism Series)
by Eva Maria Jernsand Maria Persson Erik LundbergThis book contributes to the understanding of how tourism can be designed to provide conditions for learning. This involves learning for tourists, the tourist industry, public authorities and local communities. We explore how tourism, knowledge and learning can be used as means towards sustainable development through current, new or changed structures, concepts, activities and communication efforts. The book should be seen as both an inspiration for tourism actors (e.g. tourism attractions, policy makers and other industry actors), and a scholarly contribution to further research. A holistic approach distinguishes this book from most existing literature that focuses on separate units of tourism, for instance, personal or community well-being, nature-based tourism, cultural heritage tourism or tourism that is a result of researchers’ travels (so-called scientific tourism). The various contributors to the book provide a range of perspectives and experiences, from social sciences with a focus on marketing, innovation management, human geography and environmental law, to arts and humanities with a focus on heritage studies, archaeology and photography, and, finally, to natural sciences with a focus on marine sciences.

Tourism, Land Grabs and Displacement: The Darker Side of the Feel-Good Industry (Routledge Studies in Global Land and Resource Grabbing)
by Andreas NeefThis book examines the global scope of tourism-related grabbing of land and other natural resources. Tourism is often presented as a peaceful and benevolent sector that brings people from different cultural backgrounds together and contributes to employment, poverty alleviation, and global sustainable development. This book sheds light on the lesser known and much darker side of tourism as it unfolds in the Global South. While there is no doubt that tourism has been an engine of economic growth for many so-called developing countries, this has often come at the cost of widespread dispossession and displacement of Indigenous and non-indigenous communities. In many countries of the Global South, tourism development is increasingly prioritised by governments, businesses, international financial institutions and donors over the legitimate land and resource rights of local people. This book examines the actors, drivers, mechanisms, discourses and impacts of tourism-related land grabbing and displacement, drawing on more than thirty case studies from Latin America and the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the Southwest Pacific. The book provides solid grounds for an informed debate on how different actors are responsible for the adverse impacts of tourism on land rights infringements, what forms of resistance have been deployed against tourism-related land grabs and displacement, and how those who have violated local land and resource rights can be held accountable. Tourism, Land Grabs and Displacement will be essential reading for students and scholars of land and resource grabbing, tourism studies, development studies and sustainable development more broadly, as well as policymakers and practitioners working in those fields.

Tourism, Magic and Modernity: Cultivating the Human Garden (New Directions in Anthropology #32)
by David PicardDrawing from extended fieldwork in La Réunion, in the Indian Ocean, the author suggests an innovative re-reading of different concepts of magic that emerge in the global cultural economics of tourism. Following the making and unmaking of the tropical island tourism destination of La Réunion, he demonstrates how destinations are transformed into magical pleasure gardens in which human life is cultivated for tourist consumption. Like a gardener would cultivate flowers, local development policy, nature conservation, and museum initiatives dramatise local social life so as to evoke modernist paradigms of time, beauty and nature. Islanders who live in this 'human garden' are thus placed in the ambivalent role of 'human flowers', embodying ideas of authenticity and biblical innocence, but also of history and social life in perpetual creolisation.

Tourism Management in Warm-water Island Destinations
by David Airey Dr Sheree-Ann Adams Donna Chambers Anne P. Crick Robertico Croes Frederic Dimanche Rachel Dodds Brigitte Joubert Michelle McLeod Jorge Ridderstaat Manuel Rivera Michael Sadowski Neelu Seetaram Kelly J. Semrad Professor Noel ScottWarm-water islands are a cohesive group of islands distinguished by their geography and remoteness, history as former colonial territories, and dependence on external stakeholders for their economic and social development. Warm-water island destinations also have a year-round tourism industry. These island tourism destinations are facing unprecedented adjustment challenges in the wake of increasing globalization and susceptibility to external shocks, and are in search of appropriate policy responses to that globalization. It is critical for small islands to understand how these challenges affect tourism performance and how they impact their residents. Tourism Management in Warm-water Island Destinations unearths the critical aspects that contribute to tourism development and growth in islands. Particular emphasis is placed on destinations such as the Caribbean, with lessons learned that are applicable to other island tourism contexts in the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean and the Pacific. · Presents emerging research themes and methodology; · Provides insight into factors that result in successful and unsuccessful cases; · Features a focus on Cuba and its reintroduction to the tourism landscape. This book provides a platform for emerging systemic perspectives of the various aspects of island tourism, with the view that strategies for the management and development of tourism in island environments can be improved and will be of interest to those studying and researching within destination management.
