The first book to bring together scholars, students, industry leaders, policy makers and related national institutes in collaboration across a range of case studies.

Based on Norwegian scholar Sondre Svalastog's work, this book promotes research-based knowledge for the tourism industry, considering social, cultural and natural resources, as well as the importance of local conditions. It provides a wide selection of case studies covering how to maximise potential for both host and tourist's benefit.

Overtourism examines the increasingly important role of destination management and effective stakeholder engagement in order to maximize the economic contribution of tourism while avoiding the potential pitfalls of overtourism.

This is the first authored overview of resilience in tourism and its relationship to the broader resilience literature. The book examines resilience at individual, organisation and destination levels, and with respect to the wider tourism system. It is designed to be an upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate primer on resilience in tourism.

The book addresses topics such as tourism education and its development in the latter part of the twentieth century, taking "tourism" to be a broader field than "hospitality.".

The overall objective of this volume has been to increase the understanding of challenges in how tourism is understood and worked within different countries around the world, with a focus on the management of tourism destinations and tourist experiences.
