orientation capable of making the tourism system interact with
tourism demand. Covering topics such as electronic word of mouth,

The tourism industry is made up of a wide cluster of sectors having
specific requirements related to planning for and recovery from
tourism destination disasters. Crises faced by tourism destinations
have been examined by authors from many angles, including recovery
strategies, models for analyzing and developing effective tourism
disaster management strategies, economic assessment of policy
responses, effects on tourism forecasting and processes for a
holistic approach to crises and disaster management in public and
private sector organizations. Tourism Risk: Crisis and Recovery
Management is structured in two parts. The first part focuses on
"disaster management strategies" and collects chapters analyzing
potential obstacles to preventing destruction from (natural)
disasters through advocacy, knowledge management, better
coordination, capacity building strategies, and better preparedness
through advanced emergency response. The second part focuses on
recovery management strategies and collects chapters focusing on
the tasks which managers face after the immediate consequences of a
crisis have been dealt with, addressing the question of how to
rebuild the market for a tourism service or destination which has
experienced a significant catastrophe, and how to learn from the
experience to plan for future crisis response strategies. Tourism
Risk: Crisis and Recovery Management is the result of research from
varied nationalities and aims to provide a comprehensive collection
of new insights for traditional paradigms, as well as exploring
more recent developments in research methodology in the context of
crisis management in tourism.

Digitalization 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.
