This comprehensive book focuses on how the COVID-19 pandemic is
transforming travel and tourism, globally. Despite the devastation
caused by COVID-19, authors argue that within the ongoing crisis,
there is also an opportunity to positively transform the tourism
sector in ways that contribute to a more hopeful future for tourism
practitioners, tourists and host communities. As the world emerges
from the shadow of COVID-19 there will not be a return to the
"normal". Rather, the volume shares a vision of global
transformation that is driven at least in part by the changing ways
people in the post-COVID-19 era may travel and encounter each other
and their environments. Individual chapters explore topics such as:
regenerative economies, transformational travel, critical
perspectives on pandemics and tourism, sustainable development and
resilience post-COVID-19, re-discovering and re-localising tourism,
global (im)mobilities, transforming tourism management, as well as
new value systems for travel and tourism including the chance to
strengthen social equity and social justice as tourism returns
after COVID-19. In this edited volume, a series of senior and
emerging scholars engage with debates on how to best contribute to
more substantial, meaningful, and positive planetary shifts within
the tourism industry. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the journal Tourism Geographies.
Offering conceptual, empirical and policy contributions from
leading international scholars in the field, this comprehensive
Handbook investigates a broad range of innovations and new
approaches to tourism aimed at enhancing sustainability. Examining
the ongoing competitiveness that exists in 21st Century tourism
within a global market environment, chapters expand the debate on
how innovation can tackle current challenges including providing
clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With climate
change and environmental degradation intensifying, this Handbook
reviews the urgent system changes needed, as well as considering
social dimensions in order to provide cohesion between innovation
and tourism. Furthermore, it highlights the important role of
policy and governance to allow collective action for the public
good while paying greater attention to human values. Researchers
and scholars of tourism studies, including tourism management and
tourism geography, will find the suggested innovations and debates
informative and illustrative. This innovative Handbook will also be
an excellent guide for practitioners and policy-makers embedding
new and improved 'ways of doing' to promote and provide for
sustainable tourism.

Outlining the need for fresh perspectives on change in tourism,
this book offers a theoretical overview and empirical examples of
the potential synergies of applying evolutionary economic geography
(EEG) concepts in tourism research. EEG has proven to be a powerful
explanatory paradigm in other sectors and tourism studies has a
track record of embracing, adapting, and enhancing frameworks from
cognate fields. EEG approaches to tourism studies complement and
further develop studies of established themes such as path
dependence and the Tourism Area Life Cycle. The individual chapters
draw from a broad geographical framework and address distinct
conceptual elements of EEG, using a diverse set of tourism case
studies from Europe, North America and Australia. Developing the
theoretical cohesion of tourism and EEG, this volume also gives
non-specialist tourism scholars a window into the possibilities of
using these concepts in their own research. Given the timing of
this publication, it has great potential value to the wider tourism
community in advancing theory and leading to more effective
empirical research.
