This book approaches the tourism and hospitality industry from a
regional science perspective. By analyzing the spatial context of
tourist travels, the hospitality sector, and the regional impacts
of tourist activities, it demonstrates the value of the regional
science paradigm for understanding the dynamics and effects of
tourism and hospitality-related phenomena. Written by leading
regional science scholars from various countries as well as
professionals from organizations such as OECD and AirBnB, the
contributions address topics such as migration, new types of
accommodation, segmentation of tourism demand, and the potential
use of tracking technologies in tourism research. The content is
divided into five parts, the first of which analyzes spatial
effects on the development of firms in the tourism industry, while
the second approaches temporal and spatial variability in tourism
through analytical regional science tools. The broader economic and
social impacts of tourism are addressed in part three. Part four
assesses specific tourism segments and tourist behaviors, while
part five discusses environmental aspects and tourism destination
policies. The book will appeal to scholars of regional and spatial
science and tourism, as well as tourism specialists and
policymakers interested in developing science and evidence-based
tourism policies.
